On a day that looked like/the Dodgers would have another crummy ending, Matt Kemp made sure that fans went home happy, delivering a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning off Ryan Franklin, giving the Dodgers a walk-off 2-1 win, avoiding a sweep, and snapping their five game losing streak.
With the Dodgers struggling at the major league level, having lost five in a row, it's only natural that attention shifts somewhat to see if there is any help, anywhere, any time soon. Vicente Padilla could be in the Dodger bullpen as soon as Friday when the Dodgers begin their road trip in Wrigley Field, but the most attention has been paid to last year's organizational player of the year, Jerry Sands.
Chad Billingsley vs. Chris Carpenter: For today's preview, here is something obscure from each member of today's starting nine.
