All you really need to know is Chad Billingsley was awful today (more on him later) and Brad Penny was not. The game wasn't really as close as the 7-2 final indicated, and even that's not really close either. Russ Martin provided the only Dodger offense today with a two-run homer in the seventh inning.
No real change in the standings from this morning other than the Giants picking up a game on the Dodgers and Rockies. Dodger lead is still three games over the Rockies in the division, and one over the Cards for best record in the N.L. Cards got blown out today and swept at home this weekend by the Braves. Chris Carpenter allowed six runs in the third inning of his start today.
All that said, Dodgers head home to face the Pirates for the first time this season, followed by the Giants next weekend. Giants host the Rockies this week. Last time the Rockies were in the Bay Area, the Giants swept them.
