Two big innings

The Dodgers scored four in the first, and it was enough to beat Cleveland, 4-3. A two-run double by James Loney and a two-run homer by Russell Martin proved too much for Cleveland to overcome. The Tribe did score three in the 3rd, but couldn't score again the rest of the way.

Fantasy Impact: Loney's bat is coming alive. He has a 10-game hitting streak, but only one home run in that span. Martin is probably the best all-around catcher in baseball. Interesting to note that Paul Byrd managed seven innings today, despite the four-run first. Chad Billingsley, who got the win, only pitched five innings. He's still a very good fantasy pitcher with an ERA that climbed to 3.64. He seems to be stumbling into bad luck more often than he actually struggles.
