Kevin Brown started the game for the Dodgers against Randy Johnson, in what was anticipated ot be a marquee pitching matchup. However, Brown allowed 5 runs on 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings. All runs given up by Brown came on Diamondback Home Runs, including 2 solo homers by Bernard Gilkey, and a 3 run homer to SS Jay Bell. Randy Johnson fared much better, allowing only 2 runs on 5 hits through 7 innings. However, the D-Back bullpen could not hold the lead. With 2 out in the 9th inning, D-Back reliever Greg Olson gave up a 3 run homer to Mondesi to tie the game. Two innings later, once again with two outs, John Frascatore served up a 2 run dinger from Mondesi to win the game. Jeff Shaw got the win for the Dodgers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
