Getting your player ready...
Not since Barry Bonds did an opposing player have boos rained down on him as Manny Ramirez did Tuesday. The Dodgers slugger, who has been linked to a pair of positive performance-enhancing drug tests, was finally able to silence the crowd with a game-tying hit in the ninth, only the fifth game in his last 31 that Ramirez got an RBI.
What a relief.
Franklin Morales will not be considered as a starter, Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. Morales has found his niche in the bullpen — he pitched a perfect eighth inning Tuesday — and his velocity has climbed to 98 miles per hour.
Hitting them hard.
Brad Hawpe’s two-run homer gave him 13 RBIs against the Dodgers, the most by an opposing player this season.
