Tonight's Dodgers-Giants contest at Dodger Stadium provided more evidence supporting Joe Torre's decision to remove Jonathan Broxton from the closer role in Los Angeles. After surrendering a two-run home run to Juan Uribe in the ninth inning, and thus blowing yet another save for the Dodgers, Broxton renewed his inability to get hitters out. He has been dreadful since the All-Star Break, and it has cost the Dodgers dearly. Tonight, it cost them a chance to gain another game in the standings on the San Diego Padres, who dropped their ninth consecutive game at the hands of the Colorado Rockies. Instead, it was the Giants who gained that ground, and are now just two back of the Padres for the division lead.
The Phillies also won again, and remain three games ahead of the Giants for the wild card.
