Nine Down, Nine To Go For Dodgers

Another game, another no-decision for Randy Wolf last night -- his tenth on the season in 15 starts -- but the Dodgers won the rubber game of their three-game series with Oakland, 3-2 at Dodger Stadium Thursday night.  All three games against the A's were one-run contests.

The Dodger record for no-decisions in a season is held by Odalis Perez, who had 18 in 2004.  Bert Blyleven holds the major league record with 20 no-decisions for the "We Are Family" 1979 Pirates.

Orlando Hudson provided the power for the Dodgers with his second inning shot.  Casey Blake was two for four, extending his hitting streak to nine games.  He is hitting .389/.410/.611 over those nine games, and is hitting .364/.400/.620 during the Manny Ramirez suspension.

Mark Loretta snapped an 0-for-13 pinch-hitting run with the go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning.

Ramon Troncoso rebounded from his rare poor outing Tuesday to get the final two outs -- a double play by Ryan Sweeney on two pitches -- for his fourth save of the season. Jonthan Broxton was out for the second straight game with a sore right big toe.

The Dodgers have now played half of their 2009 interleague schedule, and have won five of nine games so far.  They have only won five games against the American League in each of the last four seasons (20-43 in that time), and haven't had a winning interleague record since 2004, when they were 10-8.  Trips to Anaheim and Chicago, followed by a home series against Seattle will end the Dodgers' regular season schedule against AL teams.  Until October, that is.

WP - Brent Leach (2-0): 0.2 IP

LP - Brad Ziegler (1-3): 0.2 IP, 2 hits, 1 run, 1 walk

Sv - Ramon Troncoso (4): 0.2 IP

Mitch Jones might DH tonight

against the LHP Saunders. From the LA Times:

"I think tomorrow he’ll go, probably DH," Torre said. "I haven’t settled in on it, but with the left-hander going that probably will be what I’ll do."

Manny's rehab schedule

from Dylan Hernandez:

According to preliminary plans Ramirez and the Dodgers made Thursday morning, he will be in Albuquerque for a four-game series against Nashville.

Ramirez will be off June 27 and report to Class-A Inland Empire the next day. He will play in as many as three games for Inland Empire from June 28-30.

He will work out with the Dodgers on July 1, travel with them July 2 and play in the first game of a three-game series in San Diego on July 3.

The sources said that the schedule is subject to change. The exact number of games that Ramirez will play in the minor leagues has not been determined, but the Dodgers are said to want him to get around 25 at-bats

You’re damn right! ;-)

Four of the five games of the 1974 World Series

also had a final score of 3-2. The only exception was game four, which the A’s won 5-2.
