Tale of two at-bats

Jeff Kent tied the game by shooting a 2-0 pitch from Jered Weaver onto the tarp in left-center field, his sixth home run of the season. But with another chance to tie it in the third, Kent came to the plate with runners on first and third and two outs and took a terrible at-bat, flying out to center on the first pitch. Weaver has had Dodgers batters swinging and missing the whole game, but he hasn't been unhittable. Meanwhile, Mark Hendrickson has been up and down, giving up a hit an inning, one of which was Mike Napoli's tiebreaking homer in the second. Weaver just walked Gonzo to start the fourth. Angels 2, Dodgers 1, top 4
