Joe Nelson got the win, he's 2-0. Brian Falkenborg took the loss, he's 1-2. Kevin Gregg picked up his 18th save.
The starting pitching for the Dodgers faltered today. Chan Ho Park giving up four runs (three earned) on nine hits, including a homerun.
The bullpen then combined to shut down the Marlins over the next six innings before Brian Falkenborg gave up a go-ahead homerun to Hanley Ramírez (who had five hits on the day) in the 11th.Hitting wise, the Dodgers had some troubles. Their best sequence came in the 3rd, when Ángel Berroa got a one out single and was sacrificed over to second base. With two outs, Matt Kemp then singled him in. With Andre Ethier at the plate, Kemp stole second. Ethier then drove him in with a single. Ethier then stole second. Russell Martin then drove him in with a single. It was a good combination of hitting and running to plate three. Martin also had a solo homerun in the 6th. Other than those two instances, the Dodgers for the most part, were shut down.
It was a tough loss for the Dodgers, pushing them back into second place in the NL West, but they'll try again tomorrow at 7:10 L.A. time.
