BECKETT DOMINATES DODGERS, STRIKES OUT 13
The Florida Marlins know who to give the ball to when a big game is at hand, Josh Beckett may be one of the best clutch pitchers to ever throw. Today at Dodger Stadium the Dodgers were totally baffled as Beckett struck out 13 batters before he finally sat down with the game well at hand in the 9th inning. The Marlins were all over the home side in this opening game, dominating and winning by the impressive score of 10-0.
Miguel Cabrera hit a 2 run double in the very first inning as the Marlins put three on the board against an average Orel Hershiser. The game stayed competitive until the 9th inning when again the Marlins took advantage of the Dodger bullpen to score 5 in the inning and complete the blow out. The 4 Dodger errors didnt help matters either.
No one could have predicted this type of scoreline, but in the end its only one game and the Dodgers will have a chance to turn the tables in game 2.
"Game 1 is already forgotten" said Tommy Lasorda, "Im gonna eat if off tonight and get ready for the first pitch tomorrow."
