Is Homer better than Homer?
Third baseman Juan Uribe sprained his right ankle in the second inning of the Dodgers' 8-2 loss to the Reds on Monday night, on a play that at the time seemed to cost the Dodgers a big inning.
Devin Mesoraco's two-out, two-run double in the sixth inning off Chad Billingsley gave the Cincinnati Reds the lead, and the Dodgers bullpen faltered late in their 8-2 loss to Cincinnati on Monday night at Dodger Stadium.

Dee Gordon is out of the lineup on Monday night but he is not injured, or at least not hurt to the point of missing significant time. Gordon had cramps in his left leg that forced him to come out of last night's game in the ninth inning, the second time in four games he was removed late in the game with cramps.
The Dodgers have a dilemma on their hands, though it is not necessarily something they will, or should, do anything about. Shortstop Dee Gordon is learning on the job, but is the cost of his growing pains too great for a contending team to endure?
