Dem Bums – A Dodgers Blog

The Dodgers lost their second straight on Saturday to Atlanta, 4-1.

Chad Billingsley was charged with the loss, now 0-3 on the season, giving up four runs on six hits over five innings, with all four runs scored in the fifth. He did have an impressive nine strikeouts, though. Esteban Loaiza then came out of the pen after Joe Beimel to pitch two full innings, giving up just one hit.

Andruw Jones, playing at the stadium which he called home for his entire career until this season, hit his first homerun as a Dodger in the second inning. That was the only run the Dodgers could come up with, though, as Braves starter Chuck James held the Dodgers to just four hits over his five innings.
