Milwaukee (26-2http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/glasses.gif at La Dodgers (27-27), 10:10 pm EDT

 

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) - In the midst of a miserable slump at

home, the Los Angeles Dodgers turn to rookie D.J. Houlton on

Saturday in the third of four games with the Milwaukee Brewers.

 

Houlton (0-0, 7.41 ERA) has made 13 appearances out of the

bullpen but will start for the first time in place of Wilson

Alvarez, who was scratched due to shoulder tendinitis.

 

A 6-4 righthander, Houlton has a 1.29 ERA in five games at home

while posting an 11.70 mark in eight road outings.

 

The Dodgers may need Houlton to provide some quality innings if

their offense continues to struggle. In losing 10 of its last

13 at home, Los Angeles has scored more than five runs just

three times.

 

Victor Santos (2-4, 2.73) gets the nod for the Brewers, who

posted a 7-5 win over the Dodgers on Friday.

 

Santos tossed six scoreless innings in Milwaukee's 2-1 loss to

the San Diego Padres on Monday. He has yet to pitch in Dodger

Stadium but is 0-2 with a 15.88 ERA in two lifetime starts

against Los Angeles.

 

Carlos Lee slugged his ninth career grand slam and Bill Hall

added a three-run shot in Friday's win as the Brewers improved

to 2-3 on their current seven-game road trip.

Get ready for a 2-1 loss. We always make guys like this look like Cy Young. Would love to see an easy win.

[Mike2k33]

Yeah, Remember Wandy from last week? I don't like facing these no name guys.

[sdcheezhd]

Wandy gave up 9 runs in 2.2 innings tonight.

[davego]

I kind of thought the same thing, seems like guys that the 'Crew have not seen before tend to spin a gem against us.

 

On a happier note, I've got 3 beers in thus far!

[BuckyTuba]

man, i can't even think about drinking beer right now..

No JJ again! God why Does Ned not see that Hall is our 2B and JJ is our SS, and Junior should be sitting on the pine.

[ja002h]

Hmm, who looks out of place in that lineup?

 

edit (Hint, it's the same person who has 1 HR and 5 RBI more than Junior Spivey.

[davego]

Werth?

[batman]

Hee Sop Choi - he's the only guy with three names.

Normally do not post in these game day threads...but had to login in after I heard D. Sutton. Did I hear him correctly after the first half inning? Did he say "So far, so good, Brewers go down in order in the first."???!!?!? So far, so good? Is he still a Dodger fan from his childhood days? What was up with that?

[bsglorydays]

Patrick425,

 

I'm pretty sure Daron was referring to Houlton making his first MLB start right before that comment. Out of context it looks a little goofy, but it wasn't meant the way it sounds that way.

[Patrick425]

Oh..Ok..guess I did not have my full concentration on the game....was making a sandwich, and just caught that last comment.

[7rebmun]

Wow, Kent and Drew just walked away knowing they got abused by Santos . . .

Cheese sandwhich?

[DHonks]

we don't need another 17 inning game fellas...although it does sound tasty

[7rebmun]

Sure we need it, Santos going 122/3, with Turnbow picking up the save!

[badgerfan.tgf]

Opposing hitters are hitting .400 off Houlton this year...the Brewers start off 0-6. Baseball can be a very funny game.

[bsglorydays]

Okay, let's see if Vic can get a bunt down this time.

[bsglorydays]

Unbelievable!
