Dodgers probable pitcher

Chad Billingsley

  • #58 RHP
  • (9-3) 3.10 ERA 99 SO
For the second consecutive start, Billingsley was given a lead of at least three runs and couldn't protect it, missing out on becoming the first 10-game winner in the National League. This time, Billingsley allowed home runs to Paul Konerko and A.J. Pierzynski -- who hit a three-run shot -- and came away with another no-decision. He also walked four in the outing and has walked nine in his past 12 innings.
