Runs Lost - Multiple

4.24.10 vs. Washington

With the Dodgers leading 2-1, Rafael Furcal tripled with one out in the top of the 6th.  Russell Martin followed up by striking out and Andre Ethier flied out to center, stranding Furcal at third.  The Dodgers went on to win 4-3 in 13 innings, extra innings that could have been avoided by picking up a run in the 6th.

4.25.10 vs. Washington

With one out in the top of the 1st, Martin, Matt Kemp, and James Loney all singled to load the bases.  Unfortunately, Casey Blake followed with a strike out and Ronnie Belliard flied out to center, ending the threat.  The Dodgers lost this game 1-0, and a run in the first inning could have significantly changed the way the game played the rest of the way.  A brutal day for the offense.

4.27.10 vs. New York Mets (First Game)

Trailing 1-0 in the top of the 3rd, Reed Johnson tripled with one out.  Andre Ethier ripped a line drive, but it was right at first basemen Ike Davis.  Matt Kemp followed with a groundball to third, ending the inning.  That was the only real scoring opportunity of the day as the Dodgers were shut out 4-0.

4.28.10 vs New York Mets

Trailing 7-3 in the top of the 9th, Belliard walked with one out and Xavier Paul followed with a double to left.  With runners on second and third and one, Jamey Carroll and Garret Anderson struck out, ending the threat, the game, and the Dodgers' miserable 2-7 road trip. 

It was a brutal 9-game stretch all the way around, and the offense completely shut down after Manny Ramirez went on the disabled list.  The good news is, 9 games is only a small fraction of the season, and there is still plenty of time to turn it around.
