A Beer And A BK: Dodgers 2, Rockies 1
The Dodgers made Nomar's RBI single hold up through seven, but the Rockies came back on reserve catcher Yorvit Torrealba's single in the seventh against Chad Billingsley. Billingsly rocked and rolled through five batters, and after giving up a double and a walk in the top of the eighth, Joe Beimel coaxed a double play to end the inning.Byun-Hyung Kim, whom the Rockies are currently shopping, didn't do himself any favors by giving up the go-ahead run on Russell Martin's sac fly in the bottom of the eighth. He looked generally sloppy, missing the plate with plenty of balls. At $2.5M, he's probably overpaid, but regardless of that, the amazing thing was that the Rockies were able to hold their own in a tight game most of the time.
Finally, I should mention Brett Tomko's unusually strong outing; he won't likely do it again. As someone in the DT comments said last night, he should always pitch with five months rest between starts.
Roster Notes
- As expected, the Dodgers put Matt Kemp on the 15-day DL, calling up RHP Chin-hui Tsao until Rafael Furcal is reactivated later in the week.
- Chone Figgins has had the splint removed from his fingers, and can now grasp things. He could be back as early as May 1; he'll have a rehab stint as early as next week.
- Jered Weaver may not make his April 16 return date, and instead may be sent to AAA Salt Lake for an additional rehab start.
- Bartolo Colon will pitch a rehab start for Salt Lake at Las Vegas on Sunday.
- The Padres are looking to extend Mike Cameron and Scott Linebrink. Cameron?
