San Francisco’s Noah Lowry must wonder why he cannot get support from his San Francisco Giants teammates. Once again, the lefthander pitched a great game, only to get a no-decision, as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Giants 3-2 at Dodger Stadium. Lowry went 6.2 innings, allowing only two runs and scattering six hits to a Dodgers team that has won 13 out of their last 14 games, which included an 11-game winning streak that was ended by the Colorado Rockies earlier this week at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers got on the board in the bottom of the first inning, as Nomar Garciaparra hit a sacrifice fly that scored Rafael Furcal. That lead would not last long, as the Giants got to former Sacramento Kings forward Mark Hendrickson in the top of the third inning, as Ray Durham singled in Omar Vizquel from third base. Former Giants second baseman Jeff Kent continues to be a thorn in the side of his former team, as he smashed a Lowry pitch in the left field bleachers to give the Dodgers a 2-1 lead. Barry Bonds tied the game up, as he singled in Vizquel in the top of the fifth inning and it looked like the Giants might have a chance. Julio Lugo, who was acquired by former Giants assistant General Manager Ned Colletti right before the trading deadline hit a sacrifice fly off of Brian Wilson, which proved to be the winning run. The win went to former Giants pitcher Brett Tomko, who was moved to the bullpen after returning to the Dodgers pitching staff from the disabled list. Mike Stanton came out on the short end of the decision, as he surrendered a double to J.D. Drew and then a single to Andre Ethier. Wilson then replaced Stanton, and then surrendered the eventual game-winning sacrifice fly to Lugo. Hendrickson went seven innings, allowing 10 hit and just two runs; however he was unable to get the decision. |
