Dodgers 6 VS. Pirates 2 : RECAP
September 16, 2008
|
PITTSBURGH -- Derek Lowe continued his personal domination of the Pirates Tuesday night, allowing one run over seven innings in a 6-2 win that cut the Dodgers' magic number to clinch the National League West to eight.
Lowe allowed five hits with three strikeouts and no walks, raising his record to 6-0 lifetime over the Pirates. He's 14-11 overall this year, which includes a four-game win streak and victories in six of his past seven starts.
Casey Blake, who missed the previous game with lower back soreness, returned to the lineup with three hits -- a home run, triple and RBI single. Manny Ramirez had three hits for the second consecutive game.
Blake homered leading off the second inning and the Dodgers added three more runs that inning as the result of a missed call at first base by umpire Tim Timmons. Pittsburgh pitcher Jeff Karstens fielded Derek Lowe's one-out sacrifice bunt and bounced his throw off the glove of second baseman Freddy Sanchez covering first. Sanchez picked the ball off the ground with his glove before Lowe reached first, but umpire Timmons ruled Lowe safe.
Russell Martin's sacrifice fly would have been the third out, but was followed by Andre Ethier's RBI single and Ramirez's RBI double. Blake tripled leading off the third and scored on Blake DeWitt's sacrifice fly.
