Game 3 at Minnesota (Ted Lilly vs. Edwin Jackson)
After a travel day, the sticks were hot in Puckett Park early on. The Dodgers' first
four hitters reach against Jackson and they jump out to a 5-0 lead before the home fans
can even settle in, with the highlight being a 3-run home run from Ryan Ludwick.
Bill immediately states that this thing is far from over, and he proves to be right just
one inning later, as the Twins score five of their own to knot things up, thanks to a 2-
run double by Bengie Molina and 2-run homer from Maicer Izturis.
The seesaw affair continues, as the teams score single runs in four consecutive times at
bat in the fourth through sixth innings, and the game enters the seventh inning tied at 7,
with Lilly and Jackson having allowed all the runs before departing.
The Dodgers take the lead back in the seventh on an RBI single from Travis Snider and a
sac fly by Marcus Thames. In the bottom of the frame, Gerardo Perra guns down Curtis
Granderson at the dish, trying to cut the lead to one. And the Twins didn't threaten after
that, as Bob Howry and John Grabow slam the door shut to give the Dodgers a 2-1 series lead.
The teams combine for 28 hits (12 of the extra-base variety). Hitting stars for L.A. were
Rajai Davis (4-4, RBI) and Troy Tulowitzki (3-5, RBI), in addition to the aforementioned
Ludwick. The Twins were paced by Mike Cameron's three hits and an RBI.
