LA post 3 consecutive 2 hit shutouts to take 3 of 4 from Brew Crew


Miller Park
GAME 1
Sutton vs Suppan
Dodgers 5, Brewers 0

LA posted a 5 spot in the opening frame and never looked back.  Don Sutton fanned 12 on his way to a 2 hit shutout.  Milwaukee never advanced a runner past 1st.  Bill Russell was 3-4 with 3 RBI's on a bases clearing double.

GAME 2
Messersmith vs D.Bush
Dodgers 2, Brewers 0

Co-Ace Andy Messersmith wasn't going to let Sutton one up him on the performance meter.  The man with the fro posted his own 2 hitter as the Dodgers recorded their second straight shutout.  Davey Lopes paced the offenswe with 3 hits and 2 doubles.

Dodger Stadium
GAME 3
B.Sheets vs T.John
Dodgers 7, Brewers 0

For the 3rd game in a row the Dodgers posted a 2 hit shutout.  This time the credit goes to Tommy John who fanned 5 and didn't walk a batter.  The Dodger offense banged out 11 hits (3 from Steve Garvey) as they scored 7 runs and cruised to victory.

GAME 4
Gallardo vs Osteen
Brewers 9, Dodgers 5

With their goal being "just to finally score a run", the Brew Crew scored early and often after Dodger hurlers shut them out for 30 consecutive innings.  Milwaukee victimized Osteen and company for 15 hits.  Prince Fielder (3-5) knocked in 2, scored 2 and had 2 doubles.  Bill Hall knocked in 3 and J.J. Hardy had a 3 hit game.
