The L.A. Dodgers have had their chances as they are not hitting with Ducks on the Pond and they have not been "Clutch" when "Clutch" is in the building. The redbirds again make the play to win the game as they maximize on what little opportunity they had to eke out a 1-0 "W" and send "A Whole New Dodger Blue" back to Chavez Ravine with a a "Whole New Attitude".

Both Starters were magnificent as Redbirds Michael Wacha had the Express and Change going to the tune of 6 2/3 innings of work allowing no runs on five hits as he struck out eight and only walked one. Kershaw matched him as he has been a tough luck loser in wake of no Run Support. Clayton went six strong with an unearned run on just two hits as he walked five an struck out five.

Redbirds Hot Corner David Freese's Double and his move to third on a Passed Ball was the only thing close to a threat minus the Dodger threat in the 5th with ducks all over the pond. Freese scores on Redbirds CF Jon Jay's Sac Fly as the redbirds Pen did the rest. Now with the Dodgers 0-2 after using their Two Aces in Kershaw and Greinke it might be tough sledding getting back to them to win the series. The Bad News is the Dodgers get Redbirds Ace Adam Wainright in Game Three. The Good news is its in front of the home folks as the Dodgers might just need some home-cooking right now.

Note: No Dodgers Shortstop Hanley Ramirez as he was a scratched due to Sore Ribs from the hit Ball in Game 1.
