LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers fell behind early, took the lead, and let Atlanta tie
it up.
Bilal Powell Womens Jersey . Then their big
hitters cut loose. Carl Crawford hit a three-run homer, Juan Uribe added a
two-run shot and Los Angeles routed the Atlanta Braves 13-6 on Sunday night for
a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five NL division series. Hanley Ramirez and
Yasiel Puig each had three hits and scored three times on a huge night at the
plate for the Dodgers, who matched a franchise record for runs in a post-season
game. Brooklyn beat the New York Yankees 13-8 in Game 2 of the 1956 World
Series. "Its 25 guys out there that we come here every day and we put in hard
work on the field," Ramirez said. "Everything I do, I do for my team and for the
city. When I see a big smile from my teammates and my fans, that makes me
happy." After losing 4-3 in Game 2 to let the Braves even the series, the
Dodgers returned to the offensive form they showed during a 6-1 victory in the
opener on the road. "Guys were unhappy with the way they played, so we wanted to
get back to playing the way we did the first game," Crawford said. "We knew it
was going to be at home in front of our home crowd, and we were going to have
some extra energy for that. Hopefully, we can like wrap it up while were here at
home." Los Angeles can advance to the NL championship series with a victory in
Game 4 on Monday night. Ricky Nolasco pitches for the Dodgers against veteran
Freddy Garcia. Crawford made the play of the game when he tumbled head over
heels to catch an eighth-inning foul ball at the low retaining wall in left
field. The speedy leadoff man also scored three times, including once in the
eighth when the Dodgers made it 13-4. "Im fine. I landed in a way it didnt
hurt," he said. "I didnt think the ball was going to go into the stands. It kept
floating and I didnt see the wall coming. I felt myself flipping over. Good
thing is I held onto the ball, so thats all that matters." Chris Capuano won in
relief of ineffective rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu in a game that took 4 hours, 1 minute.
The 13 runs allowed by the Braves equaled the most in club history for a
post-season game. Atlanta starter Julio Teheran took the loss, giving up six
runs and eight hits in 2 2-3 innings. "He just left some balls out over the
plate and made some mistakes," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "With this
club, if you do that, youre going to look down at a gas tank with a lighted
match." Los Angeles rallied in the third to regain the lead for good after
Atlanta tied it in the top of the inning. After that, the Braves didnt manage
much besides Jason Heywards two-run homer in the ninth. By then, it was way too
late. Teheran and Ryu both made inauspicious post-season debuts in the first
matchup of rookie pitchers in the playoffs since 2007. Neither stayed around
long. In addition to being shaky on the mound, Ryu made two major mistakes in
the field before giving way to Capuano, who spent most of the season in the
rotation before moving to the bullpen. With the Dodgers ahead by six runs in
their first home playoff game since 2009, fans waved their blue souvenir towels
with one hand and made chopping motions with the other in mocking Atlantas
trademark tomahawk chop. "I didnt have my best, and I tried my best," the
22-year-old Teheran said. "It was just one of those games that you do
everything, and the things dont go as you expect." Ryu allowed four runs and six
hits in three innings, becoming the first South Korean-born pitcher to start a
post-season game in the major leagues. Despite his rookie status, the
left-hander brought a wealth of experience from his native country in becoming
the first player to go from the Korean Baseball Organization to the majors.
Besides his seven seasons in the KBO, he had pitched in the 2009 World Baseball
Classic at Dodger Stadium as a reliever. "I felt a little more anxious than
compared to those games," Ryu said through a translator. Atlanta got to him with
two runs in the first during another of Ryus typically slow starts. Capuano came
on to strike out three and walk three in three hitless innings. Los Angeles
extended its lead to 10-4 with four runs in the fourth. Ramirez had an RBI
triple for his sixth extra-base hit in three post-season games, tying the club
record set by Steve Garvey in four games of the 1978 NL championship series. "I
just kept telling him, I want the whole world to see how good you are," Dodgers
manager Don Mattingly said. "Its been good so far." Puig added an RBI single and
Uribe followed with a two-run homer on the first pitch he saw from reliever
Alex Wood. "With two outs there, if we get out of that inning, its a whole
different ballgame," Braves catcher Brian McCann said. "But it just didnt turn
out the way we wanted. Carl hit a slider that hung up a little bit more than we
wanted and he put a good swing on it." The Dodgers regained the lead 6-4 in the
third on RBI singles by Adrian Gonzalez and Skip Schumaker. Ryu was lifted for a
pinch-hitter later in the inning. Atlanta tied it 4-all with two runs in the
third after loading the bases with nobody out. The Dodgers scored four times in
the second to take a 4-2 lead, highlighted by Crawfords three-run homer with two
outs. Ryu helped himself with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to right field --
Justin Upton had to stretch out to keep the ball from going over his head.
NOTES: Dodgers C A.J. Ellis got hit on the left elbow by a pitch from
hard-throwing Jordan Walden in the eighth, but stayed in the game. Ellis had
X-rays after the game and said he felt fine. ... Capuanos only other major
league win in relief came on Aug. 20, 2010, for Milwaukee. ... It was the first
time in Teheran and Ryus careers as starters that their pitching lines had more
runs than innings. ... Teheran became the youngest pitcher (22 years, 252 days)
to make a post-season start for the Braves since Steve Avery (22 years, 193
days) in the 1992 World Series, according to STATS. ... Among the famous faces
in the sellout crowd of 54,646 were Sandy Koufax, Larry David, Eric Stonestreet
of "Modern Family" and Dennis Haysbert.
Dexter McDougle Jersey . 9. Price, heading to
the 2014 Olympics for Canada, was named the First Star after posting wins in
three starts with a 1.00 goals-against average and a .971 save percentage.
Geno Smith Jersey . The defence is doing its
part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the
guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13
victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.
