Peavy The Dominator: Padres 4, Dodgers 1
There's just not that much to say about this game, short of the odd play in the fourth that had Josh Bard catch Russell Martin's foul ball in the dugout; because both feet were in the dugout before Bard made the catch, Martin was out, but thanks to one of baseball's odd wrinkles, Rafael Furcal got to go home. The rule is 7.04(c), viz
7.04 Each runner, other than the batter, may without liability to be put out, advance one base when—Joe Torre understood the situation immediately and informed the umpires, who huddled and got the correct call. It was the Dodgers' only offensive highlight.
...
(c) A fielder, after catching a fly ball, falls into a bench or stand, or falls across ropes into a crowd when spectators are on the field;
Rule 7.04(c) Comment: If a fielder, after having made a legal catch, should fall into a stand or among spectators or into the dugout or any other out-of-play area while in possession of the ball after making a legal catch, or fall while in the dugout after making a legal catch, the ball is dead and each runner shall advance one base, without liability to be put out, from his last legally touched base at the time the fielder fell into, or in, such out-of-play area.
Pierre started ahead of Matt Kemp. Meh. They all hit like Pierre in front of Peavy.
