Dodgers at Giants, Bottom of the Eighth

Giants up, facing Billingsley.

Pablo hits a grounder up the middle that somehow curves far towards right field. So far that he thought about going two, and a faster runner would've made a double out of it. Sandoval, however, chose to stay at first.

Bengie, the Giants personal wrecking ball, is up with no outs. And he's got no hits so far today... still has none.

Rowand has a great at bat and walks on 4 pitches. But Ishikawa and Uribe bat behind him... Maybe if I bad mouth Ishikawa too, he'll rip one off as well.

Closer Jonathon Broxton is pitching now.

Ishikawa stole Rowand's eyes for this at bat: 3-0. Walked him!

Bases loaded. One out. Uribe's up. Like I said before, might as well call it an inning. 

Fans are chanting. Count's at 0-2. Uribe juuuuuuuuust checked his swing to make it 2-2. Braxton is throwing 97 mph. Full count! Uribe is fighting off strikes left and right. Groundball to third! Throw to home is wide of the plate. Martin lays out to nab it and barely keeps his foot on the bag. 2 outs.

Richie Aurillia up for Burriss. Just the man I like to see. He swings through a 2-0 pitch. Too much heat to handle. 3-1. What a take on a fast ball scraping the outside corner. WHAT?! Low and away, a good inch further out than every other ball this game, but no. Full count. WAAAAAAY off the plate! Tie ball game!!!

Eugenio Veldez pinch hitting for Matos. Three quick strikes and the inning's over. But not in time.

DODGERS 3 GIANTS 3
