Sure, the Dodgers scored exactly one run in a span of 19 innings. But they broke that skid with a three-run eighth in which they batted around, got Gorzelanny out of the game and got three consecutive two-out hits to pull within 4-3. Salomon Torres got out of that inning, but never really got started in the eighth before he gave up a single to Russell Martin and a two-run homer to Ethier, putting the Dodgers in front. Ethier is 2 for 4 with a double and home run. Kent is 0 for 2 since entering as a PH in the seventh and now is 1 for his past 28. Oh, and I forgot to mention earlier, Grady got tossed in the fourth inning arguing a play at the plate that gave the Buccos their third run. ... Dodgers are 26-0 when leading after eight, and Broxton just retired LaRoche on a lazy fly ball to start the bottom of the inning after starting him 3-0. Dodgers 5, Pirates 4, bottom 8
