Brewers Trick Dodgers, Still Lose
These Milwaukee Brewers are turning out to be some tricky bastards. Wednesday night they may have pulled a totally new trick. They sent out a left-handed pitcher to start the game, let him pitch to one batter, then pulled him for a right-handed pitcher. Why would this matter? Because, the Dodgers, and most teams, have a totally different line up for lefties. So, by starting a lefty then putting in a righty, you have their hitters at a disadvantage. It's not a bad idea, but I've never heard of a team trying it in my 30 years of watching baseball.
However, the Dodgers were able to pull out a 5-2 win at home and now lead the series 3-2. The will head back to Milwaukee for game 6 on Friday and a possible game 7 on Saturday.
Go Dodgers!
