Adrian Gonzalez alone (2-for-4 with an RBI) couldn't save the Dodgers from the final game in the Marlins series, which was a close game throughout until Shawn Tolleson gave up back-to-back jacks in the ninth to Jose Reyes and Carlos Lee. Aaron Harang-utan was evolutionary (5.1 IP, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 Ks, 2 HR), but Shane Victorino was great (3-for-5 in lead off plus a great catch in left field) and Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier both showed up.
Hanley Ramirez went 0-for-4 with a BB and had a brutal 8 LOB; the Dodgers had 16 LOB collectively. Still, with this lineup, the game never felt out of reach. Let's just hope I'm not fantasizing (as does happen).
As I write this, Atlanta is up 2-0 on Lincecum and the Chardonnays through one inning. Time to root for Atlanta, one of the few real opponents SF faces from here on out.
Go Dodgers!

3-0 ATL, top 5
5-0 Barves, Bot 7
Back to back for Heyward and Freeman in the top of the ninth. 7-1 Barves.
Braves won. Lead is still two games with 34 to play.
Are the Padres the best team in the NL West right now?
