Despite last night's disappointing pitching, the Dodgers cling to first as the division groups up again for another five-horse battle. Just 3.5 games separates the last-place Rockies from the first-place Dodgers. That underscores the importance of these intra-divisional games.
I like our chances with the "ace" back on the mound. Derek Lowe has been almost as consistent as Brett Tomko lately, just in a different way. I have to go to church, so I'll leave you with yesterday's lineups, and update later.
Go Blue.
