Okay, 3rd inning...so our pitcher is in the 70's for a pitchcount, right? :O) (33 actually)
Wait? LF defense? Wow. :O) Nice play Dickerson. Over the shoulder grab. 2 down.
Kemp draws a 5 pitch walk. Everything away. Looked like Leake wanted nothing to do with Kemp.
Grounder to Phillips to end the inning. 7 of last 9 retired. Leake...our #1 starter? :O)
Dodger 3rd:
Padilla bounces out to third.
Furcal flies to deep left, very nice catch by Dickerson... (Double at least w/ Gomes)
Kemp walks
Ethier out 4-3.
Dodgers up 2-1 after 2 and a half.
Leake at 41 pitches, 25 strikes. 1 BB, 2 Ks, 2 hits.

I've got to start dinner, so if somebody wants to take over PBP...have at it.
That 1st ab for Dickerson got changed to a hit instead of an error on Padilla.
Reds 3rd:
Leake grounds out 4-3. (BA down to 'only' .500)
Dickerson Ks swinging.
Cabrerra Ks swinging.
After three, Dodgers 2, Reds 1.
Padilla has thrown 41 pitches, 29 for strikes. He has 5 Ks, and has given up 0 BBs, and 2 hits.

Dodgers 4th:
Manny grounds out to Leake.
Loney grounds out to Cabrerra.
Casey Blake Ks looking.
After three and a half: Dodgers 2, Reds 1.
Leake is now at 50 pitches. Much better control (or a better ump) than last two starts.

Mike Leake = SOLID!
This Leake kid is good. Everything is low. Works fast.

8 ground ball outs for Leake through 4 innings.
3 pitches...2 outs. Rolen up.
Heart of the order...6 pitch inning. :-(
