Loney's HR lifts Dodgers over Padres in 13 innings
Baseball Betting Lines
07/05/2009 -
San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - James Loney went 2-for-6 and smacked a solo
home run in the top of the 13th to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers past the San Diego Padres, 7-6, in the rubber match of a three-game series at Petco Park.
Edward Mujica (2-4), who took over on the hill in the top of the 13th for San
Diego, quickly offered up the eventual game-winning homer to Loney, who drove
a 2-0 fastball just over the wall in right field.
Jeff Weaver (5-2) tossed a scoreless 11th, 12th, and 13th to collect the win
for the Dodgers, who are 4-2 in their last six games. Chad Billingsley allowed
three runs on four hits in eight-plus frames, but didn't factor into the
decision. Billingsley also hit his first career MLB home run and doubled.
Casey Blake belted a three-run homer and Andre Ethier hit a solo homer for
Los Angeles. Juan Pierre went 4-for-7 with an RBI for the victors.
Josh Banks, who is filling in for the injured Wade LeBlanc, went 4 1/3 frames
in the start, allowing six runs on nine hits with one walk for the Padres, who
finished 2-5 on a seven-game homestand.
Kevin Kouzmanoff and Chase Headley each hit a solo homer for San Diego. Everth
Cabrera had a two-run single, while Eliezer Alfonzo and Will Venable added an
RBI apiece.
Down 6-1, the Padres rallied for five runs in the bottom of the ninth to
deadlock the tilt. Headley started the frame with a homer to right off
Billingsley, who was replaced by Jonathan Broxton on the hill after giving up
a double to Tony Gwynn, Jr. Broxton got David Eckstein to fly out before
walking Scott Hairston. Adrian Gonzalez went down swinging to record the
second out.
Pinch-hitter Venable then hit an RBI single to left to cut the deficit to
three. Edgar Gonzalez and Alfonzo both walked, with the latter forcing
in a run. Broxton's disastrous frame continued when Cabrera stroked a
two-run single to center. Alfonzo was thrown out at third on the play to send
the contest into extra innings.
Heath Bell came on to pitch for the Padres in the top of the 10th and put men
on the corners with two outs. Bell, though, got Ethier to line out to get out
of the jam.
San Diego loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom half, but Brent Leach
got Venable to fly out to end the threat.
The Dodgers used an Ethier lead-off homer to center in the second inning
to take the early edge.
Blake belted a three-run homer in the third to extend Los Angeles' margin
to four. Billingsley doubled and Rafael Furcal hit a bunt single to put
runners on the corners. Pierre moved Furcal up a base when he grounded out.
Billingsley was thrown out at home when Loney grounded into a force out. Blake
then drove the ball over the wall in center.
The Dodgers plated two more runs in the top of the fifth to make it a 6-0
game. Billingsley started the frame with a homer to left. Furcal followed with
a triple and crossed the plate on Pierre's single.
Billingsley, who retired 12 of the first 13 batters he faced, gave up a solo
homer to Kouzmanoff in the bottom of the fifth.

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Bet on NFL Football
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
