Series 5 Recap: Dodgers @ Arizona Diamondbacks
This one was the first short (two-game) series of the short season and the Dodgers managed to sweep both games from the 'backs in the desert.
The first W came on the heels of another strong outing by Brad Penny (7.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER) and timely hitting against Arizona SP Ed Gonzalez. The Dodgers managed to tack single runs in four of the first five innings and were never in real danger of losing the game in the late innings due to the spectacular play of their bullpen guys, Joe Beimel and Chad Billingsley (collective one hit through the final two IP).
The second game of the series was the top/heart of the order affair as Juan Pierre and Jeff Kent combined for 5-for-9 with 4 runs scored and 2 RBI. Every Dodger starter (but struggling Andre Ethier and Wilson Betemit, got at least one hit). The bullpen was again spectacular bailing out SP Brett Tomko after only 5.0 IP. Though they mae 65 pitches on the game, the bullpen limited the D'backs to measly 3 H and 1 BB through the final 4 IP. Marvellous!
