Series 6 Recap: Dodgers @ Colorado Rockies
The Dodgers found enough strength to split the short two-game series on the road with the Rockies in a lop-sided fashion.
Derek Lowe struggled to find his composure in the mountains and went only 4.2 IP of hittable baseball as he eneded up with 4H and 3 ER and 3 BB (to go along with his 2 SO) in a forgettable series opener. Dodger fielding errors (by Rafael Furcal and Andre Ethier certainly did not help the pitcher's cause that day), but not to take anything away from the Colorado hitters it must be mentioned that they still left on base 18 baserunners in a convicing 7-2 win over LA. Brady Clark spelled Luis Gonzalez in LF for a day and did not disappoint going 2-for-4 with an RBI and run scored.
The climate and outcome of the game changed completely the following day, as th Dodgers scored eraly and often on a windy afternoon and won 8-1 behind the pitching of spot starter Mark Hendrickson. He replaced Jason Schmidt who was earlier DLed for precautionary reasons. Hendrickson gave LA all he got, making 76 pitches (while conditioned to relieve) in 5.2 IP of 1 run, 5 hit ball. Most of the offense was provided by a trio of Jeff Kent, Luis Gonzalez and Andre Ethier (good sign!), who collectively went 6-for-10 with 4 runs scored. 3B Wilson Betemit is still hitting below the Mendoza line (currently at .118) and is a prime candidate to be replaced in the lineup by either Wilson Valdez (on the ML roster) or Andy LaRoche (in Triple-A Vegas).
