Cy Ortiz held the Dodgers in check, allowing two runs over six innings. How? The top of the Dodgers' lineup was flat as the nickel above, with the one- through four-hitters going 0-for-14. But Alberto Arias gifted the Dodgers with two extra outs in the seventh, which they cashed in for the tying run. Then Matt Kemp (3-for-4 in the seven-hole with all four runs scored) hit the go-ahead home run off LaTroy Hawkins and Jonathan Broxton pitched a classic 1-2-3 ninth to salvage the split.
Unfortunately, Orlando Hudson injured his problematic left wrist in the fifth. Vin passed along that the O-Dog is day-to-day (aren't we all?*). Jason Schmidt starts tomorrow. At the very least, it'll be an interesting Monday.
UPDATE: Wrist injury for LA's Hudson not serious (Dodgers.com)

dodgers.com is reporting that Kuo could soon be activated too.
That should help the bullpen for the week he's healthy.
zing.
that was a massive shot by Kemp~
around 450
anyways, i hope the wrist wont keep him out for too long. but castro should fill in quite fine at second.
According to Doug Mientkiewicz"s Twitter:
"Dougiebaseball: About to wash the car. I have a power washer fetish!!! Oh yea plan is Az wed then tue-fri AAA then back in dodger blue barring a setback

Oh and that baseball thing too.
Hooray for recovery!
Brewers acquired Felipe Lopez from Arizona.
Is he "washing his car" like Jeff Kent was?
