In A highly tested game, the LA Dodgers fought back to win game 3 and make it a series. Blake DeWitt’s bases-loaded triple off Jamie Moyer capped a five-run first inning, and the Dodgers beat the Phillies 7-2 Sunday night to trim Philadelphia’s lead to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series. emptied in the third inning, moments after Los Angeles starter Hiroki Kuroda threw a pitch over Shane Victorino’s head. Kuroda who was only 9-10 during the regular season has been very good for the Dodgers in the post season. Kuroda pitched effectively into the seventh inning. The announced attendance of 56,800 — 800 more than listed capacity — was the largest in Dodger Stadium history. Now, on to Game 4, with Derek Lowe facing Joe Blanton. A matchup that should favor the Dodgers.
