Ethier has the rally capper

Share

The Dodgers refused to go quietly into the night for a second consecutive game.

After being largely shut down by veteran Philadelphia starter Jamie Moyer on Friday, the Dodgers staged a two-out rally in the ninth inning to clip the Phillies, 4-3, at Dodger Stadium.

Andre Ethier hit the game winner, a double to right field, with the bases loaded as Phillies reliever Brad Lidge (0-3) blew his fifth save of the year.

The Dodgers (38-19) also were helped when Phillies third baseman Pedro Feliz booted a grounder by Russell Martin in the ninth inning that would have ended the game before Ethier could come to bat.

“Fortunately we were able to get guys on base and get an error to bounce our way,” Ethier said. “We were able to turn it in our favor and capitalize.”

Casey Blake started the rally with a two-out single. James Loney walked and then Martin reached on Feliz’s error.

Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton (6-0) got the win.

The Phillies (32-21) entered the ninth with a 3-2 lead after Moyer picked up where his teammate Cole Hamels had left off.

Moyer, the big leagues’ oldest player at 46, was on the way to his 251st career win one night after Hamels shut out the Dodgers on five hits.

But the Dodgers’ victory ended the Phillies’ seven-game winning streak, and enabled the Dodgers to maintain an eight-game lead in the National League West over the San Francisco Giants.

The Dodgers’ bats have cooled over the last nine games, and Moyer’s upper hand was in sharp contrast to last month, when the Dodgers tagged the left-hander for seven runs in 4 1/3 innings in Philadelphia.

This time, Moyer -- at times throwing fastballs that barely reached 80 mph but still crafty with his control -- yielded only two runs and four hits in seven innings.

The Dodgers’ starting pitcher, Eric Milton, gave up three runs -- two of them unearned -- and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings.

The Phillies first scored against Milton in the third inning when former Dodger Jayson Werth singled, reached third on Ryan Howard’s single and scored when Raul Ibanez grounded into a fielder’s choice.

They scored two more in the fourth inning after a rare and costly error by Dodgers second baseman Orlando Hudson.

After Eric Bruntlett singled, Chris Coste grounded to Hudson, who tried to start a double play. But he bobbled the ball for only his third error of the season.

Pasadena-born Chase Utley then doubled to right field. Bruntlett scored, as did Coste on a play at home plate, when he collided with Martin and the Dodgers catcher couldn’t hold the relay throw from Rafael Furcal.

But Hudson also saved a run in the fifth inning. After Howard doubled, Ibanez hit a sharp grounder that Hudson stabbed in shallow right field. That forced Howard to stay at third and he never scored.

The Dodgers got their first run in the fourth inning when Juan Pierre, who worked his way to third base after being hit by a Moyer pitch, scored when Hudson grounded out.

They scored a run in the seventh when Furcal doubled and, two outs later, scored when Bruntlett misjudged a fly to right field by Loney that would have been the third out.
