« Tonight's lineup: Betemit, Kemp in, Abreu, Ethier out | Main | Dodgers 2, Angels 1 »

Two-man show

D-Lowe is pitching the game of his life, with already eight Ks and eight groundballs outs. Problem is, so is Ervin Santana. At the rate they're going, these teams could go all night without scoring -- and it's going so quickly that the people who got caught in traffic coming into the parking lot already missed a big chunk of the game. Make it nine Ks, Jose Molina just fanned to end the sixth. That's a season high for Lowe Santana was no-hitting the Dodgers through four, but Kemp lined a single to left-center with two outs in the fifth. What an irony it would have been if the Dodgers had been no-hit on their first day with Bill Mueller as hitting coach. Great game so far, and a great, enthusiastic crowd, with just enough Angels fans thrown in to add intensity. ... Chris Withrow, the Dodgers' first-round pick, was just in the press box meeting with reporters for the first time. He is on his way to Vero Beach for the Gulf Coast League season in a few days. ... Angels 0, Dodgers 0, bottom 6
