Series 7: Dodgers vs Pittsburgh Pirates
The Dodgers came home to host former manager Jim Tracy and the Pittsburgh Pirates and promptly took two out of three from the Bucs.
The first two games looked like as good a combination of great pitching (Randy Wolf, 10 SO in game 1 and Brad Penny in game 2) and timely hitting as any so far this season. While the first one was basically over by the third inning when the Dodgers put up six runs on the board, the second went right down to the wire with an amaizing bases-loaded walk-off HR by Russell Martin. At the moment Jeff Kent seems to be the hit/run machine for LA as he raised his BA to .355 after the first two Pirate games (going 5-for-7).
Game 3 of the series was not as fortunate for LA as sloppy fielding plays (three errors) ended up in a 5-7 loss. The Dodgers stranded sixteen baserunners that night, which partly explains how they ran out of outs.
