Derek Lowe (0-0) vs. Chris Young (1-0).
COMMENTS: Can't say there have been many surprises in this Padres series: The Dodgers have remained homerless and Jake Peavy dominated them yesterday. Now they face Chris Young, who went 1-1 with one no-decision and a 3.60 ERA against them last year. Can Lowe stay focused enough to keep the Dodgers in the game and can the bats deliver, even if they have to chip away with walks and singles? A win would give the Dodgers the series and create momentum for tomorrow, when they face (gulp) Dan Haren in Arizona.

We haven't lost a series all year, and the streak stays alive today. Chris Young goes down in flames, embarrassing his Princeton alums, and Lowe gets the win.
A bold prediction, sir.
You have to get on to steal!
Wow, Iguchi stroked that one. Lucky it was foul.
Lowe in trouble again.
Lowe in a lot of trouble in the first...shades of Penny last night. Wait, Lowe Ks Gonzalez! One out, men at the corners.
LUCKY LOWE!!!!
Lowe escapes the first, and then Ethier nails a home run to lead off the second!
Wow, scoring runs for Derek, that's novel!
ANDRE the GIANT!!!
Glad to be wrong! Again!
Does that catch by Jones make up for that weak ass strike out earlier?
Dewitt with ANOTHER great defensive play for the dodgers. I have to listen to the Padres annoucers - one of them said "what the heck is Ron Cey going on?" - Bringing back the oldies.
Why does Pierre always get rid of the ball so quickly after he catches it - esp after a 3rd out?
Hey Pierre! Keep the ball on the ground!
"Poor Pierre, who lives by speed; when he hits the ball in the air, it's not going to help his cause any."
--Vin Scully, after Pierre flies to right in his first AB.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Firing up mlb.com Gameday...
Hey Pierre! Keep the ball on the ground!
Hu to DeWitt to get Giles back in the third—great freakin' heads-up play!
I see none of that on Gameday
"Ground ball to the Loney vacuum." Nice one, Vinny!
Loney picked off?
Unfortunately Loney's vacuum-like powers seem to remain in play when he's a baserunner.
The game isn't on extra innings!
Wtf is up with Loney today? Picked off first, then error on a throw? Ouch.
Vinny's vacuum comment about Loney mustn't be misinterpreted as meaning he sucks
I'm guessing we shouldn't click on that
looks like a nice ab by ethier
firefox says the site that guhn linked is bad
why not pitch hit for pierre instead of pitch running for Sweeney
Bad link is gone. Like Pierre.
Damon - Yeah I was wondering that too - Give Kemp the at bat cuz Pierre sucks - you are going to take him out anyways!
come on Ox get em out!
Phew...
FURCAL UP THE LADDER!
WOW - FURCAL skied
HHHHHUUUUU!!!
Huuuuuuuuuuuu, part twoooooooooooooo!
Dodgers score off of Hoffman, take the 3-2 lead.
Hoffman Hears a Hu! Dodgers up 3-2
WOOOHOOO!!!! GO BLue!
Karros: how long you been waiting to use that one?
And Sammy Saito has an efficient six-pitch 9th for the save. Go Dodgers, 4-2 on the year!
Trevor Hoffman is officially human and I'm officially impressed with this win. Go Blue!
I'm still waiting for a pitcher named Horton to make it to the show.
Ricky Horton. He even played for the Dodgers!
