Dodgers Hand St. Louis 5-2 Loss
The Los Angeles Dodgers picked up a win at Dodger Stadium, knocking off the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-2. Starting pitcher Darwin Ramos was a big reason why. The winner was Ramos. He threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The loser was Ken Nicholson. Paco Rodriguez was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 14 of 17 save opportunities.

The Cardinals had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Dodgers going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old left fielder Todd McDonald came to the plate. McDonald hit a bases-clearing double on a 1-2 sinker from St. Louis hurler Ken Nicholson. It was McDonald's 14th double of the year.

"I like our moxie," said Dodgers manager Torey Lovullo.

Los Angeles is now 66-49, St. Louis 52-64.
