Dodgers 5, Cardinals 3: NLDS Game 1 Recap: Notes From Wednesday's Game

The Bison attacks its prey with unmitigated force.

1. Randy Wolf was wild and in a baserunner-giving mood (3.2 IP, 2 ER, 6 Hits, 2 K, 5 BB [2 IBB to A-Pu], 1 HBP, 82 pitches- 46 for strikes). 13 12 baserunners in 3.2 IP. Damn.
2. Bullpen: 5.1 IP, 1 Run, 5 Hits, 5 K, 0 BB, 1 HBP.
3. Matt Kemp had a huge 2-run HR in the 1st inning, his first career postseason HR. A fielding miscue in the 9th and a couple poor at-bats as well, but those can be corrected.
   
4. Jonathan Broxton went 1.1 innings and struck out 2.
5. Andre Ethier (Double, Single, BB), Rafael Furcal (Triple, 2 Singles), James Loney (2 Singles, BB), Casey Blake (2 Singles, BB), and Ronnie Belliard (Single, 2 BB) each reached base 3 times, while Manny (Double, BB) and Russell Martin (2 BB) each reached base twice.
   
6. The offense drew 8 walks while striking out just 6 times (only 3 of those Ks coming against Chris Carpenter).
7. Eric Gagne was in attendance.
