Game #2 - Battle of the Lefties - Sanchez and Willis
D Train is a surprise starter for the Dodgers after playing a 7 game series, both Lilly
and Zambrano are gassed. Willis is handed the ball for the game 2 start ... he is on a
very short leash. Willis survives the first 2 innings, but Even Meek starts warming up early.
Bottom of the 2nd - Manny hits a solo HR to put the LAD up by one.
Top of the 3rd - Renteria singles and steals second. Zimmerman drives him home with a 2-out
single. Adios D Train
Bottom of the 4th - Ordonez singles and the Joey Bats strikes again - 2 run HR. LAD up 3-1
Top of the 5 - The Braves strike back in an unexpected manner. Renteria is on first with two
outs. Dominant Righty Peter Moylan comes in to face Zimmerman and Weeks. Zim singles and
Weeks jacks a 2-out 3 run HR. Braves up 4-3
Bottom of the 5th - The lead does not last for long. Rajai Davis singles, steals 2nd and
advances to 3rd on Tulo groundout. Kelly Johnson drives him home with a groundout.
For the next five innings - it is the battle of the bullpens.
ATL - Lidge, Wilson, Rhodes, Wagner - 5 Innings - 3 Hits - 0 BB - 0 ER
LAD - Bray, Meek, Downs - 4 innings - 1 Hit, 2 BB, 0 ER
Bottom of the 7th - LAD has runners at 1st and 2nd with 2 out. Joey Bats singles and Kelly
Johnson tries to score. He crushes Ivan Rodriquez at the plate (knocked out 27 games).
But Pudge hangs on to the ball and Johnson is out.
Top of the 11th - LAD Closer - Mariano Rivera is pitching his second inning. Gardner walks
and is bunted to 2B. Hamilton is intentionally walked. Renteria reaches on an infield single.
Bases loaded - one out. Heyward hits Sac Fly to score Gardner. Braves up 5-4
Bottom of the 11th. Dunn walks but is erased on double play. McCann is the last man on the
bench and pinch hits for Ramon Castro. Braves give McCann the IW to face Rivera. Rivera
grounds out to end the game. I think that Bill might like this one back as he had Haren and
Zambrano available to pinch hit for Rivera.
Braves win 5-4 to tie the series
Braves Leaders: Rickie Weeks - 3 Run HR; Edgar Renteria - 3-5, 2 Runs; Billy Wagner - 3
Innings, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 1W
