Five-Peat! Dodgers 4, Padres 2
Somebody needs to explain to me what Clay Hensley is doing as a starter. Never possessing anything like dominating strikeout numbers, he looked to me like the kind of pitcher teams put up when they get desperate to plug gaps in the rotation. Since his spot start against the Mets went well, getting a win despite only going five and a third and giving up four earned runs, he got another chance. To be honest, Hensley didn't actually do so badly — a quality start, really — but the Padres' popgun lineup never supported him.
Instead, the Dodgers' rickety offense clicked just enough to get the job done, with Nomar's solo blast and bases loaded sac fly leading the way. Yes, I saw them intentionally walk .195-hitting Jeff Kent, and giggled accordingly; at what point do you pitch to Barry Bonds, let alone Jeff Kent?
The Padres gave Brett Tomko a win. How does a guy this bad get to be 3-1 already?
