[h1]Never give up - never surrender[/h1]
This Dodger team is never out of it. Ever.

After falling 90 feet short of coming back from a 3-0 ninth-inning deficit Monday, tonight the Dodgers bounded back from a 5-1 eighth-inning gap, coming away with a resounding 6-5 victory.

Los Angeles had only two hits -- a homer and double by Andre Ethier -- entering the eighth inning when Matt Kemp led off with a single off Tony Pena, in relief of a scintillating Dan Haren (who had three hits of his own). Two outs later, Pena gave up a single to Juan Pierre and then lost the strike zone, throwing eight consecutive balls to Rafael Furcal and Orlando Hudson to force in a run.

Daniel Schlereth subbed in for Pena. James Loney then blasted a 1-1 fastball to right-center field. Such loft, such wonderful loft. At first it looked like a grand slam, then it looked like it would get caught at the wall, but it settled nicely in between for a bases-clearing, game-tying, whoop-whooping double.

A wild pitch moved Loney to third base, and then Casey Blake lashed a single to left field to drive Loney in with the go-ahead run.

Jonathan Broxton, who had looked like he would have the night off, started off the ninth with three balls that each just missed the strike zone, but came back to shut down the Diamondbacks on the next 12 pitches.
The Dodgers end up gaining a game on all four of their National League West rivals and lead San Francisco by nine games, San Diego by 10, Arizona by 12 1/2 and Colorado by 14 1/2. The team has reached the halfway point of the Manny Ramirez suspension with a 15-10 (.600) record.
