Top of the 9th
With the Dodgers trailing by one, Russell Martin puts together a good at-bat to work a walk leading off the ninth inning. After Rafael Furcal struck out looking, Garret Anderson singled to rightfield, moving Martin to third. Once again, runner on third and one out. Matt Kemp strikes out late in the game again, failing to drive in the runner from third. Putting the ball in play here would have brought the tying run home and extended the game. Instead, James Loney grounded out to first and that was it.
An opening road trip of 2-4 where the Dodgers lost at least one run in all four defeats. Inexcusable. I don't know about you, but watching this kind of failure on a daily basis has made this season terribly frusterating to this point. Let's hope the execution improves going forward.
