Well, that was quick. Five-game winning streak? Down the tubes. And talk about an ass-beating of all sorts, Mark Hendrickson was just dreadful last night, and the offense was even worse. The pitching staff gave up an L.A. Dodger-record 26 hits in last night's embarassment. How bad was it? Here's Rotoworld's take on it:
"Just as disgusting as the Dodgers' pitching performance in the 15-3 loss was the fact that they couldn't do anything at all against (J.D.) Durbin, who entered with a 13.50 ERA and nine walks in 10 innings this season. The Dodgers never even tried waiting him out and got exactly what they deserved. The "Real Deal" ended up collecting half as many hits (three) at the plate as he allowed on the mound (six)."
Meanwhile, Grady Little was at it again. While Russell Martin got a well-deserved day off before today's game, Grady continues to insert Nomar ahead of Matt Kemp in the line-up. While I like Nomar as a person, he's just not the same hitter he once was, and he's more likely to do more damage to the offense hitting 5th or 6th than he would hitting 7th.
On the bright side, the Padres lost to "El Duque" and the Mets 7-0, so the Dodgers retain first place in the West by one game. Milwaukee beat Arizona meaning the Brewers and Dodgers both have 53 wins, tied for most in the N.L., but the Brewers have one fewer loss, therefore have the best winning pct.
