At Least (at Last) the Dodgers Score : Baseball: After 27 innings without a run, they get one, but the Phillies get two.

Frustrated after watching his team suffer consecutive shutouts against the Philadelphia Phillies, Dodger Manager Tom Lasorda went to the third base coaching box for Sunday’s series finale against the Phillies.

It didn’t make much of a difference. The Dodgers lost, 2-1, before a paid crowd of 32,223 at Dodger Stadium.

“I just tried to change our luck,” Lasorda said of his move out of the dugout. “It didn’t help.”

It’s a wonder Lasorda didn’t wear out the grass pacing as the Dodgers extended their scoreless streak to 27 innings before center fielder Roberto Kelly singled in Raul Mondesi with two outs in the eighth inning to end the Dodgers’ longest consecutive scoreless inning streak since they went 28 innings without a run in June 1992.

“If you look around this clubhouse there’s no way anybody could have told me that this was going to happen to us,” said Kelly, traded from the Montreal Expos to the Dodgers last month. “It’s just been hard for us to get a run across the plate.”

The Dodgers, who stranded 12 runners Sunday, loaded the bases in the ninth inning, but reliever Heathcliff Slocumb earned his National League-leading 15th save by striking out catcher Carlos Hernandez. He had entered the game in the ninth inning after Mike Piazza, who went two for four, was removed for a pinch-runner after singling in the eighth inning.

Mondesi, who leads the Dodgers in home runs and runs batted in, departed in the ninth inning because of an upset stomach. Pitcher Todd Worrell was put in Mondesi’s No. 3 spot, and was lifted for pinch-hitter Dave Hansen, who was intentionally walked so that the Phillies could get to Hernandez, who is batting .075.

“I certainly wouldn’t have taken [Mondesi] out on my own,” Lasorda said. “Did he ask to come out? I believe he did. Would I have made that move if he didn’t ask to come out?”

Charlie Strasser, Dodger assistant trainer, said Mondesi told trainer Bill Buhler that he had an upset stomach before the game and asked to be taken out after complaining of dizziness.

“He said that things were starting to spin and he was getting dizzy,” Strasser said. “We didn’t want anybody out there being dizzy and all of a sudden fainting on us.”

Said Mondesi: “Before the game I had an upset stomach, no good for playing. I’m OK for [Tuesday’s game at Pittsburgh].”

In the three-game series against the Phillies, the Dodgers collected 15 hits, three by pitchers.

“It’s very frustrating,” Lasorda said after watching his team score one run in three games. “We’re not scoring any runs. We’re getting well-pitched games, but we’re not able to win them.

“I think one of the reasons [for the lack of run production] is we’ve been trying too hard and swinging too hard. With the hitters we have on our ballclub, I don’t expect anything like this at all.”

The hitters in the Nos. 3, 4 and 5 spots in the Dodger lineup--Mondesi, Piazza and Eric Karros--were four for 34 (.118) in the three-game series.

“It’s a combination of us trying to do too much and not getting the breaks,” Piazza said. “We just seemed to be stuck in neutral.”

Ramon Martinez (6-4) pitched well enough to win, allowing two runs on 10 hits in seven innings.

“Obviously, it’s a slump,” Martinez said. “It’s unbelievable. With this type of team it’s unbelievable that we’ve scored one run in the last 29 innings.”

Martinez gave up three consecutive two-out singles in the sixth inning as the Phillies took a 1-0 lead. Catcher Lenny Webster singled in Charlie Hayes for the Phillies’ first run.

In the seventh inning former Dodger shortstop Mariano Duncan singled in second baseman Mickey Morandini, who had doubled, to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead.

Rookie Michael Mimbs (4-1), a Dodger minor league castoff, won for the first time in his last three starts.
