Jake Roth/US PresswireRafael Furcal stands before the world’s largest unicycle.After a 4-2 lead turned into a 6-4 deficit, the Dodgers came back to end their eight-game losing streak.
Highlights:
- Ivan DeJesus, Jr. singled twice and scored two runs.
- Juan Uribe drove in three runs with a bases-loaded walk and a two-run double.
- Another hit for Trent Oeltjen, who is batting .467. His leadoff single in the eighth keyed a three-run Dodger rally.
- Xavier Paul, Gabe Kapler and Eugenio Velez added singles in the eighth. Kapler took second on a wild pitch and scored the go-ahead run thanks to Velez.
- Hong-Chih Kuo struck out two in a scoreless inning.
- Blake Hawksworth and Ron Mahay pitched the final two shutout innings to seal the victory.
Lowlights:
- James Loney and Rod Barajas each left the bases loaded in the first inning and went 0 for 3.
- Uribe muffed a ball at third base for an error, leading to an unearned run off Clayton Kershaw.
- Kershaw allowed 10 singles and a double, leading to five earned runs in 5 2/3 innings that marred his 0.00 ERA. He struck out three and walked none.
Sidelights:
- It hasn’t been decided what will happen with the Japanese baseball season (via Baseball Think Factory).
