Haeger's effort was helped by Johnathan Broxton, and by George Sherrill who closed the game out for his first save as a Dodger, securing the shut-out. Matt Kemp hit a 449 foot blast and Casey Blake added another solo home run in the fourth, giving the Dodgers enough runs for the win . The emergence of Charlie Haeger gives the Dodgers some insurance for a pitching staff dealing with injuries and some relief for a bullpen that has been leaned on heavily all season. The Dodgers dwindling lead in the NL-West, is at 4.5 games. But if Haeger can continue to pitch like this, Dodger fans should have faith that they will keep the Rockies and Giants fighting for the wild-card.
Update: The streak is over, Cubs won 3-1. The Dodgers lead in the NL West is down to 4 games.
