Post-Game 111 Thread: Big Third Buoys Dodgers

DODGERS 7, DIAMONDBACKS 4

10 Dodgers batted in the six-run third inning tonight, chasing Arizona starter Josh Collmenter and boosting Dodger starter Chad Billingsley to a comfortable lead. Bills lasted six innings, giving up 7 H and 3 ER, and shaky Dodger relievers in the seventh inning were bailed out by a line out DP started by Dee Gordon, which I heard was the play of the game but MLB.com inexplicably didn't select that highlight, so I can't confirm it.

There is, however, video highlight footage of Rod Barajas, who went 2-for-4 with a HR and 3 RBI. The Dodgers keep the Snakes from taking first place, but San Francisco lost, so Arizona remains only a half-game back.
