J.P. Howell gave up a leadoff single in the eighth and was the next Dodger pitcher to fall victim to Matt Carpenter’s hot hitting as he hit a two-run home run that tied the game. Howell gave up a third hit and was replaced by Brandon League, who got the Dodgers out of the inning.

Pat Neshek took the mound in the bottom of the eighth for the Cardinals and threw a slider to Matt Kemp on the inside part of the plate that the outfielder turned on and hit a solo home run to left field that just stayed fair.

Kemp’s home run proved to be the difference in the Dodgers’ win that tied the best-of-five series at one game.

  1. As a writing/editing tip, “Pat Neshek took the mound in the bottom of the eighth for the Cardinals and threw a slider to Matt Kemp on the inside part of the plate that the outfielder turned on and hit a solo home run to left field that stayed fair.” – saying “that stayed fair” is redundant here because one can’t have a “home run that went foul.”

    1. To be fair, you excluded the word ‘just’ in your recap. A HR that ‘just stayed fair’ is a correct description of the hit. Not sure if it was edited after your comment or not. =D

      1. It was edited after my comment, which is why I quoted the sentence as originally written lest I be considered “off my rocker” as it were. 🙂

        1. Yes, the edit was made after his comment. The qualifier was accidentally omitted in the original writing of the post. Thanks for reading, guys!
