Game 104 Thread: July 27 @ Rockies, 6.05p

Dodgers start Brett Tomko, RHP (2-7, 5.42) vs. Josh Fogg, RHP (5-6, 4.84).

Dodgers: 57-46 (1st place NL West, 1.5 GA, W1)
Rockies: 51-51 (4th place NL West, 5.5 GB, L1)

From Dodgers.com, the scouting report on the starters:

Dodgers: Tomko has stepped up twice with the staff under siege, allowing one earned run in five innings to the Giants, then no earned runs in six innings to the Mets while filling in for the injured Randy Wolf. He took a cut fastball out of mothballs, and it has made a huge difference in Tomko's ability to keep hitters off balance and induce ground balls.

Rockies: Fogg pitched six scoreless innings last Sunday, but did not get a decision as Colorado was blanked by the Nationals. He struck out one batter and walked three, and said that he was able to get outs in key situations. Fogg thew only 79 pitches because of a pinch-hitting situation that arose and looked fresh down to his last outs.

From Inside the Dodgers, the lineup:

Furcal, SS
Pierre, CF
Loney, 1B
Kent, 2B (five career homers off Fogg, tied for his most against any pitcher)
Gonzo, LF
Nomar, 3B
Ethier, RF
Lieberthal, C
Tomko, P
