Unlikely Heroes Deliver Improbable Win For Dodgers In Chicago

PrintThe script called for the Dodgers to lose 3-2, their offense falling just short of supporting another quality start from their pitching staff. For 8 2/3 innings, it looked like that would be the case, but after Russ Mitchell decided to improvise the Dodgers yes anded their way to a 6-4 win over the White Sox in 10 innings at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago.
Things were bleak when Juan Uribe left the game in the bottom of the seventh with a strained left hip flexor. In the eighth inning, the White Sox elected to walk Matt Kemp with first base open to load the bases for Uribe's replacement, Juan Castro. Castro struck out, and James Loney grounded out to end what looked like the Dodgers' final threat.
Until Russ Mitchell, that is. Mitchell was 1-for-14 on the season when he stepped to the plate with two outs in the ninth inning. Mitchell launched a home run off closer Sergio Santos to tie the game, the first run allowed by Santos in 21 innings this season. But the Dodgers weren't done, as the Dodgers rallied for three more off Santos in the 10th inning. Castro and Loney each drove in runs, redeeming themselves from their eighth inning struggles, and Jay Gibbons delivered the final run with a single.
It looked early like tonight would be a relatively high-scoring game. Kemp, starting his first-ever game at DH, blasted a two-run home run off Phillip Humber in the first inning, giving the Dodgers a 2-0 lead. Kemp joined select company, becoming the sixth Dodgers designated hitter to hit a home run in their 113 games in American League parks since interleague play began in 1997.

| Chad Kreuter | 6/16/01 | Anaheim |
| Mike Davis | 10/20/88* | Oakland |
| *World Series | ||
Ted Lilly began his game with the rule of fives. He retired the first five batters he faced, but then allowed five consecutive hits with two outs in the second inning, including two doubles and a home run, to fall behind 3-2. Then Lilly continued to do Ted Lilly things, and he retired 16 of the final 18 batters he faced. He pitched seven innings and allowed three runs, his fourth quality start on the season.
Humber pitched a solid game himself. He only allowed the two runs from the Kemp homer in his seven innings of work, and after a single to Ethier in the third inning Humber retired 14 of the final 15 batters he faced. There was no scoring after the second inning until Mitchell's home run in the ninth.
Kenley Jansen was magnificent, pitching a scoreless eighth and ninth innings, picking up his first win of the season. The Dodgers used Matt Guerrier, Scott Elbert, and Mike MacDougal to close out the win in the 10th inning.
Dodgers On The Mend
Before tonight's game, manager Don Mattingly addressed the status of several of the injured Dodgers. You can find more details from Ken Gurnick of MLB.com and Tony Jackson of ESPN Los Angeles. Here is a quick summary:
- Rafael Furcal will arrive in Chicago Saturday, and either be activated Sunday for the series finale, or Monday in Houston
- Casey Blake went through full workouts Friday. If he feels fine on Saturday, he will begin a rehab assignment with Triple A Albuqerque on either Sunday or Monday. Blake will likely be activated Friday for the homestand opener against Florida
- Aaron Miles sat out tonight, his second straight game missed, with a sore ribcage.
- Blake Hawksworth will pitch Monday and Wednesday on a rehab assignment with Class A Rancho Cucamonga. The Quakes are home on Monday and in Lancaster on Wednesday. Hawksworth is eligible to come off the DL on Friday.
- Vicente Padilla got an injection into his sore right forearm today, and could begin a throwing program soon. To me, that sounds like someone who will be back much later than the May 29 date on which he is eligible to return.
- Marcus Thames, on the DL with a quad strain, could begin a rehab assignment by next weekend
Notes
- Jamey Carroll had his first four-hit game as a Dodger, and the seventh of his career.
- Ethier snapped an 0-for-22 skid with a single in the third inning. Ethier also walked
- Adam Dunn, who was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts against Lilly and 0-for-1 off Scott Elbert, is 0-for-30 with three walks and 13 strikeouts against left-handed pitching this season
- Jerry Sands pinch hit for Tony Gwynn in the top of the eighth inning, then played the next two innings in center field, the first time Sands has played the position as a pro.
- Mike MacDougal became the fifth Dodger to get a save this season.
- The Dodgers are 4-0 in extra innings this season
- Ethier will be the designate hitter on Saturday
- Former White Sox pitcher Jon Garland takes the hill tomorrow in the second game of the series, against Mark Buehrle for Chicago
WP - Kenley Jansen (1-0): 2 IP, 1 hit, 2 strikeouts
LP - Sergio Santos (2-1): 1 1/3 IP, 5 hits, 4 runs, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts
Sv - Mike MacDougal (1): 1 up, 1 down

Russ Mitchell: Greatest American Hero
Immediately after I tweeted that “It’s all up to Russ Mitchell” were words no Dodgers fan wanted to hear, he jacked a home run.
For one day, Mitchell, I forgive you for everything.
Great win by the Dodgers, just because that is exactly the type of game they have been losing all year.
As a fan I needed that.
So with Uribe going down. Furcal tomorrow?

In either the first or second inning, Felix Pie went for a foul ball in left field which went into the first row of the stands. He didn’t get the ball, but he did manage to knock someone’s beer cup in the air.
A fan near 3rd base jumped out onto the field and was arrested and escorted out of the park in cuffs. A few people in my section clapped, but there were louder boos overall in the park.

LF, just to the left of the bullpens on the club level. I had a few hot dogs, a few sodas, some popcorn and peanuts, a soft pretzel and a little ice cream cup. I had a salad for lunch.
If you walk down the hall in the club level you can see the trophy case for the WS trophies. They had one for 1970 and 1983. The first WS trophy was given out in 1967, so there was none for the 66 series, which was fine with me.

Ummm apparently in Mommy and Me, my friend couldn’t sit up yet, and she would just lie there, all serene in frilly lace and bows and stuff. And I would go over to her with a toy and just throw it at her as hard as I could. My mom described it as, “PLAY WITH THIS FUCKING TOY, GOD DAMMIT!”

If Dee Gordon can be as good as Pierre was his first few years then I can live with that.
Just need to trade him when his stock is high.
In my book, that’s only true if he can stick at shortstop.
Juan Pierre at short, especially if he’s cheap, is somebody you want.
But if Gordon can’t play SS, I think his value plummets.

Gordon's gonna be fun to watch, I predict and has a great personality.
Obviously you want a lot more than the latter from your SS. But if his fielding improves I think he’ll be fun to watch, if still an overrated prospect.

good job! I just read that game thread for shits and giggles. Nice!
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Just read this on South Side Sox:
James Loney is one of the worst regular first baseman in the game today. His bat would be great for a guy playing a key defensive position, but at first base it makes him highly replaceable. Homeruns aren’t everything, but when you finish last at the position for the stat while not really contributing much else, you’re a drain on your team. He will hit no more than 12 homeruns this season, will have a well below-average wOBA, and will most likely end up non-tendered and losing his job to the cheaper Jerry Sands.
Baseball is a game, and games are supposed to be fun.
Woo hoo! Ridiculous game and we'll take those last two innings in a heartbeat.
I saw Mitchell’s HR via Gameday only, was about to play soccer, but I let out a “WTF!” and a whoop! Then I watched the rest when I got home, via MLBTV. Couldn’t deal with Hawk again and had forgotten I can watch Dodger road broadcasts now (duh! after all my Hawk whining earlier), at least Collins called the big plays properly.
Also, that has to have been one of the foggiest games i remember seeing. I felt like I was watching on glaucomavision.
Anyway, bunch of unlikely heroes indeed. Even Kemp was laughing out loud when Castro got that hit, like “go little crappy old guy, go!”
Nice.

For your pleasure
Hawk’s calls transcribed:
Kemp’s HR: “Gotta stay away from this guy. And it’s two-nothing Dodgers.”
Mitchell’s HR: “And we got ourselves….a 3-3 tie. Psssssh.”
Castro’s RBI single: “And there is a…base hit. Boy, there’s a shank, broken bat. Carroll’s gonna score. Kemp on his way to third and the Dodgers lead it 4 to 3. You gotta be bleeping me.”
Loney’s RBI double: “That’s a fair ball right by Konerko. Kemp’s gonna score. Castro on his way to third on the double by Loney and it’s 5-3 Dodgers.”
Gibbons’ RBI single: “And that’s a base hit. That’s gonna score one and it’s 6-3.”
Konerko’s groundout to end game: “Ball hit to second base. Bobble, bobble. Has time. And this ballgame is ovah (sic).”
Terrible disgrace for broadcasting
