Who are you, Dan Haren? After pulling away for the title of "worst starting regular pitcher" for most of the season, Haren has suddenly thrown two consecutive QualityStart™s, and against good teams: the Angels and today the Barves. Mike Minor was saddled with the loss.
Down the stretch, Haren had help from a stable of relievers, including Wilson, Howell, League and Kenley. Offensively, Puig and Kemp contributed RBIs, but the Dodgers rode the bat and legs of Darwin Barney, who had a second-inning RBI and also created an insurance run in the eighth in a sequence that included an error and a wild pitch.
Dodgers for the win! Giants remain mired in second place. Good show!

2-0 White Sox through seven innings.
Giants tie it up in the 9th. Boooooo
WOOP
Haren looked good tonight, not dominant like vs California, but much better than expected. Puig looks off, like he's hiding an injury or something else is going on
And Barney did not disappoint in the field. There are a couple of great highlights on MLB.com but he had another that SVS spoiled. In the 8th, he dove and stopped a ball right up the middle, made a great acrobatic throw and SVS just plain missed it, like he closed his golve too soon or something. SVS made up for it by starting a 3-6 double play on the next play
