Braves beat up on Dodger pitching

The Boston Braves pounded out 20 hits and 10 runs in a one-sided affair at Ebbets Field.  When the dust cleared, Boston took this one home, 10-3.  Bill Urbanski had 4 hits and 3 RBI's and Randy Moore also had 4 hits.  The Braves scored 3 runs in the 3rd, 3 in the 5th, and 3 in the 7th to win this one decisively.

Ray Lucas got the spot start for the Dodgers.  He didn't last long, just 3.2 innings, giving up 4 runs (3 earned).  The bullpen was also attacked pretty hard; Harry Smythe gave up 3 runs in 2.1 innings, and Tom Zachary gave up 3 (2 earned) in 2 innings.  This was a classic showcase of why the Dodgers did not win the pennant this year - pitching just wasn't up to snuff.

Johnny Frederick had a 3-hit game for Brooklyn to move his average up to a respectable .287.  Lonny Frey had 2 hits before he was pulled from the game after this one got out of reach.  The Dodgers are now a game under .500 at 75-76 with 3 games left in the season.
