On a night when the Dodgers offense wasn't firing on all cylinders the pitching staff provided all the sparks needed as they combined to hold the Mets to a single run. Jeff Weaver held his own once again as he allowed one earned run in five innings. Ramon Troncoso threw two scoreless frames, Brent Leach notched his first major league win, and Jonathan Broxton came in to save it in the ninth. With the win the Dodgers move to 17-3 at the Ravine, above and away the best in baseball.
Andre Either failed to tally a hit once again; however, a run scoring sacrifice fly and a late inning walk soothed the frustration- if only for a night.
Regardless of the victor tonight's game was most enjoyable for me as I got to attend it with my Dad. We only get one or two games in each year, and each game spent together never disappoints. Perhaps it's because he passed along the Dodger tradition to me that he learned from his Dad, or maybe it's because he always buys the Dodger Dogs. Either way, the games with Pops are always the best.
