Billingsley vs Cueto
Dodgers 4, Reds 2
Dodgers jump out to a 4-0 lead after 2 innings and hold on thanks to a great outing by Chad Billingsley and the pen. Every Dodger starter, including Billingsley, had at least 1 hit.
Dodgers lead series 1-0
GAME 2 - Great American BP
Kershaw vs Arroyo
Dodgers 7, Reds 3
Kershaw, who fanned 8, was not spot on today, but his offense gave him more than enough runs to work with. With 4 runs in the top of the 2nd the Dodgers, for the 2nd day in a row, jumped out to a 4-0 lead. Andre Ethier (3-5, 2 RBI) paced an offense that banged out 14 hits. Red starter Bronson Arroyo gave up 5 runs in 6 innings to force his team to the brink of elimination.
Dodgers lead series 2-0
GAME 3 - Dodger Stadium
Latos vs Harang
Reds 3, Dodgers 2
Mark Ellis scored on a Ethier sac fly in the top of the first. Neither team could score for the next 6 innings as LA tried to hold on to their 1-0 lead. Aaron Harang pitched 5 scoreless innings for LA, but was consistently in and out of trouble thanks to 7 walks. Cincy tied the game up with a Joey Votto RBI double in the top of the 7th. A 2 run blast by their 8th place hitter, Cozart, put them up 3-1. Aroldis Chapman pitched a perfect 9th for the save.
Dodgers lead series 2-1
Bailey vs Capuano
Reds 3, Dodgers 1
LA's offense went south for the second consecutive day. Chris Capuano went deep into the 8th and gave up 3 runs, but could not get any support. Cincy broke the ice with 2 runs in the 4th on a Ryan Ludwick 2 run blast. A Valdez sac fly gave them an insurance run that they would not need.
Series tied 2-2
GAME 5 - Great American BP
Billingsley vs Cueto
Dodgers 4, Reds 0
Once again the home team fell victim to the visitor. In this game 1 rematch Chad Billingsley once again bested Cueto. Billingsley carried a no hitter into the 7th until Joey Votto doubled. After striking out Ludwick he was relieved in order to give LA an advantage in the lefty vs lefty matchup which Scott Elbert won vs Jay Bruce. Matt Kemp started the scoring off with a solo shot in the 2nd. Shane Victorino's 2 out RBI single in the 5th made it 2-0. A Luis Cruz RBI single and a A.J. Ellis sac fly plated 2 insurance runs in the 8th to lock down the game and the series for the underdog Dodgers.
Dodgers win series 3-2
