Dodgers are ahead 2-0 in the series!

The Dodgers are going back home with a 2-0 cushion. Dodgers scored five runs in the second inning, including Russell Martin's 3-run double, Rafael Furcal's bunt single and back to back errors from the Cubs. With Chad Billingsley pitching phenomenal behind them the Dodgers were able to score 10 runs! The most from the Dodgers in the postseason since 1978. Manny Ramirez hit a solo home run which is his 26th home run; his MLB record for postseason's home runs. Dodgers win 10-3. Billingsley had a two hit shut out into the seventh inning and was taken out after allowing back to back hits only allowing one run. He pitched 6 2/3 innings, with seven strike outs and one walk. Next, Dodgers play in LA on Saturday Oct. 4 at 7 pm PDT. Kuroda (9-10) will be pitching for the Dodgers and Harden (10-2) for the Cubs. Dodgers only needs one more win to advance. :)
