Baseball Betting Lines
08/29/2010 -
Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carlos Gonzalez went 3-for-4 with two homers
and four RBI, as the Colorado Rockies defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 10-5,
in the rubber match of a three-game series at Coors Field.
Dexter Fowler chipped in with two triples and three RBI, while Ryan Spilborghs
added a solo homer for Colorado, which have won six of its last seven.
Jason Hammel (9-7), 1-4 with a 4.82 earned run average in his previous eight
starts coming in, worked 5 1/3 innings and yielded two runs on seven hits,
walked three and struck out seven in taking the victory. He also added an RBI
single among two hits.
Ryan Theriot had two hits and a pair of RBI for the Dodgers, who had won four
in a row before dropping the last two games of the series.
Ted Lilly (8-9), who had won his five previous starts with the Dodgers since
being acquired from the Chicago Cubs, was roughed up for seven runs on nine
hits in four frames. The veteran lefty struck out eight and walked one.
The Rockies plated a run in the second and third innings to grab the early
advantage. Todd Helton led off the second with a double and crossed the plate
two batters later on Chris Ianetta's two-bagger to center. Gonzalez then hit a
two-out solo homer to right in the third.
In the fourth, Colorado broke it open by pushing across five two-out runs.
Jonathan Herrera started things with a triple and scored on Hammel's base hit
to center. After Eric Young Jr. drew a walk, Fowler brought in a pair with a
three-bagger to right. Gonzalez capped the inning with a two-run homer
to right field to put the hosts ahead 7-0.
Jay Gibbons' RBI single in the fifth got the Dodgers on the board, but
Spilborghs' solo homer in the bottom portion got the run back. A run-scoring
double by James Loney in the sixth made it 8-2. During the sixth inning,
Dodgers' pinch-hitter Manny Ramirez took a called strike at the knees on the
first pitch of the at-bat and was ejected for arguing with home plate umpire
Gary Cederstrom.
LA got to the Rockies bullpen for three in the top of the eighth on a pinch-
hit RBI single from Ronnie Belliard and two-run single by Theriot. It could
have been more, but Loney grounded out to shortstop with the bases loaded to
end the inning.
Fowler's RBI triple and sac fly from Gonzalez in the home half put Colorado up
10-5.
Huston Street worked a 1-2-3 ninth to close out the win.
