San Fran's Schmidt goes for sixth consecutive win
Schmidt has won three consecutive starts and is 5-0 with a no-decision in his last six outings. He has not lost since July 30 against Milwaukee. The righthander defeated Arizona five days ago, allowing three runs on four hits in 6 2/3 innings. Schmidt is 6-4 on the road this season and 11-7 lifetime versus Los Angeles. He has won all three of his starts versus the Dodgers this year and has given up just six runs on 13 hits in 18 innings of work against Los Angeles. Jeff Weaver counters for the Dodgers. The righthander suffered his first loss in nearly two months five days ago against Colorado, as he surrendered six runs on eight hits in five innings. Prior to the shaky outing versus the Rockies, Weaver had not lost since July 9, going 6-0 with three no-decisions in nine previous outings. Weaver is 6-3 at home this season with a 4.37 ERA in 14 starts. However, he has struggled versus the Giants in his career, posting a 3-4 mark with a 5.19 earned run average in 10 starts. In four assignments against San Francisco in 2005, Weaver is 1-1 with a 5.73 ERA. On Tuesday, Jeff Kent's two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning lifted the Dodgers to a 4-2 victory over the Giants. Kent ended 3-for-4 with three runs batted in for the Dodgers, who halted a four-game losing streak. Jose Cruz Jr. added a solo homer in the victory. Omar Vizquel, J.T. Snow and Angel Chavez had two hits apiece for the Giants, who had their winning streak snapped at six games. San Francisco remained five games behind San Diego for first place in the NL West. Jeremy Accardo (0-4) struck out the first two Dodgers in the 10th before Oscar Robles singled. Kent then drove a 1-0 pitch over the wall in left to end the game. It was his 26th homer of the season. Yhency Brazoban (3-8) picked up the win after tossing a scoreless top of the 10th. Dodgers starter Brad Penny allowed one run in six innings, while Giants starting pitcher Brett Tomko yielded one run in seven innings of work. The season series is tied, 7-7.Source: http://www.wkrc.com/
