Casey Blake hit a three-run shot in the third inning off Rangers starter Derek Holland, but the Dodgers have wasted a few other chances to add some insurance runs. Again, Chad Billingsley doesn’t have his best stuff, but at least he’s being more economical than usual, having thrown only 69 pitches through five innings.
Andruw Jones hit his second home run of the series in the third — in six series at-bats, he has hit only one less four-bagger than he hit in 209 at-bats in 2008.
