Matt Kemp homers in his 5th straight as the Dodgers win 3-1 over Diamondbacks

Two National Championship Series, two losses to the Philadelphia Phillies, and one horrible 2010 season.

Dodgers loss assures 1st losing season since 2005

Ain’t that a Beachy night. Phillies slam Braves.

Brandon Beachy pitched solid in his third major league start.  He gave the Atlanta Braves a chance to win. For the second time in 3 starts the defense let him down.  And the bullpen imploded to hand him his second career loss. He pitched 5 and 2/3 innings allowing 7 hits, walking 1 and giving [...]
