Chad Billingsley threw 7.0 three run innings, striking out five, walking two, and only surrendered 5 hits.  The Brewers offense did nothing after Gabe Kapler hit a two-run blast in the first inning and Jason Kendall singled in a run in the second.

Offensive MVP: Dodgers 3B Casey Blake (3-4/1R/12B/1HR/2RBI/0BB/0K)

Pitching MVP: Dodgers SP Chad Billingsley (7.0IP/5H/3ER/2BB/5SO/1HR/Win-11th)

Alex’s Take:

It isn’t the greatest sign that the Crew fell flat so quickly to a good team.  Although they have recently beaten up on bad ones, the season will only be a success if they can outplay teams that are on or above their level.
