Late Game Meltdown Prevents Pirates From Sweeping L.A.


Billingsley must have been watching Ohlendorf on the mound last night as he throws almost a repeat performance for shutout.

It Was Over When... - Pinch-Hitter Brad Ausmus hit an RBI single that would bring in 2 runs to finish off the 5-run 9th inning.

Turning Point - Matt Kemp hit an RBI single after Furcal hit a double before him to get into scoring position at the top of the 9th that sparked a 5 run inning.

Stat Of The Night - After Ross Ohlendorf's 1st start/shutout of the season, Dodgers SP Chad Billingsley would come back the very next day in his 1st start and also pick up his first shutout of the season.
