08/25/2010 -
Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - James Loney drove in two runs and the Los Angeles Dodgers took a 5-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in the second of a
three-game series.
Andre Ethier hit a solo home run while Matt Kemp drove in one for the Dodgers,
who have won three of their last four. Hiroki Kuroda (9-11) went seven innings
in the win as he was charged with four runs on seven hits with six strikeouts.
"It was a good game, we played well and we were spirited," said Dodgers
manager Joe Torre. "We just need to keep playing well and get on a winning
streak."
The big news for Los Angeles came before the game as the Los Angeles Times
reported that the team placed outfielder Manny Ramirez on waivers. He is in
the final season of a two-year contract with a salary of $20 million this
season. He went 2-for-2 in the game with two doubles, two walks, an RBI and a
run scored.
Corey Hart, Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder and Casey McGehee each drove in a run
for the Brewers, who have dropped three straight. Randy Wolf (10-10) went five
innings in the start and was charged with four runs on seven hits with three
walks and four strikeouts.
"We went out there and lost a two-run lead," said Milwaukee manager Ken Macha.
"Loney got a hold of a good pitch and they have a great bullpen there that
just shut us down."
The Dodgers drew first blood when Ethier hit a one-out, solo homer to right-
center in the third.
The Brewers, though, surged ahead in the fourth. Rickie Weeks led off with a
single and came home when Hart followed with a double. Braun's two-bagger
scored Hart and a sacrifice fly from McGehee later in the inning made it a 3-1
game.
Los Angeles answered with three of its own in the fifth to go back in front.
With men on first and third and one out, Kemp scored Ryan Theriot with a
sacrifice fly. Casey Blake followed with a double and Loney's single to left
plated both baserunners for a 4-3 lead.
The Dodgers made it a 5-3 game in the sixth as Ramirez's double scored
Theriot, who had reached base on a double earlier in the frame.
Milwaukee got the run back in the bottom of the inning, though, as Fielder's
single to left scored Weeks, who led off with a single and stole second before
heading to third on a groundout from Braun.
Kuroda put the Brewers down in order in the seventh while Jonathan Broxton did
the same in the eighth.
Ronald Belisario, George Sherrill and Octavio Dotel each retired a batter in
the ninth, with Dotel getting his 22nd save of the season.
Game Notes
Kuroda had been 0-3 in his previous five starts and improved to 2-0 in three
games against Milwaukee...Los Angeles has taken three of five from Milwaukee
this season...Wolf had won his previous three starts and fell to 3-3 in 10
encounters with Los Angeles.
