The Dodgers scored 10 runs on 12 hits, including five home runs — back-to-back home runs on two occasions. But that wasn’t enough to beat the Rays.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Forget bigger bases and rule changes. If Major League Baseball wants to put more action and scoring into games, apparently it just needs to do one thing — start them at 11:30 in the morning.
Starting before most of their fans on the West Coast had even taken the potato salad out of the refrigerator, the Dodgers and Rays combined for 21 runs on 28 hits, including 10 for extra bases . The Rays even stole five bases. With all of that, it was a ground out that drove in the winning run as the Rays beat the Dodgers 11-10.
He wasn’t alone in his misery this weekend. Dodgers pitchers gave up 25 runs on 38 hits in the three-game series. The most satisfying hit of the day, though, had to be Thompson’s RBI single in the second inning. A hard ground ball through the infield, it ended an historic 0-for-39 nightmare for Thompson, the longest hitless streak by a Dodgers position player since 1909.
