The Dodgers tried valiantly to keep the game close today, but the Angel bats were just too much for the bullpen today. In the end, the Dodgers lost 10-7, and they continue to struggle against the American League, particularly the Angels. For whatever reason, Mike Scioscia has Joe Torre's number, no matter what team Torre is managing, just like Torre's teams always seem to have their way with the Mets, as they did earlier in the week. The L.A. teams had split the past 18 at Dodger Stadium before today's game, but the Red now have a 39-31 advantage overall since the inception of interleague, and are 35-22 against the Blue since 2000.
Still, despite losing the series to the Angels, the Dodgers maintain the league's best record at 30-15, and are still a league-best 18-5 at home with a 7½ game lead over second place San Diego, who won their 9th straight game today, all at home. They wrapped up the short homestand 4-2, sweeping the Mets three straight before losing two of three to the Angels.
Next up for the Dodgers, they hit the road for three in Denver starting tomorrow, where they'll join the Lakers, who will be playing Game 4 of their Western Conference Playoff series against the Nuggets at Pepsi Center, before heading off to the friendly confines of Wrigley Field in Chicago for four this weekend.
