Furcal's hit lifts Dodgers over Rockies

Baseball Betting Lines

07/01/2009 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rafael Furcal's pinch-hit RBI single proved to be all Los Angeles needed, as Clayton Kershaw and three relievers combined on a three-hit shutout in the Dodgers' 1-0 victory over Colorado.

Kershaw allowed only one hit with five walks and five strikeouts in five innings for the Dodgers, who have a 10-2 record against the Rockies this season. Ronald Belisario threw two scoreless innings, Ramon Troncoso (2-0) picked up the win after a shutout eighth, and Jonathan Broxton earned his 19th save for a 1-2-3 ninth.

Brad Ausmus was the only LA player with two hits, as his leadoff single in the eighth ended up producing the Dodgers' run after being replaced on the base paths by Russell Martin.

Wednesday marked the final game in which the Dodgers were without star outfielder Manny Ramirez, who is set to return Friday against the Padres. He has missed the last 50 games after being suspended for a violation of the league's drug policy.

Brad Hawpe went 2-for-4, as the Rockies managed only three hits in the loss after going 21-7 in June. Jason Hammel (5-4) pitched the entire game for the first time in his career, lasting eight innings and giving up just a run on five hits and five strikeouts. The loss snapped his seven-start unbeaten streak.

Hammel retired 13 of the first 14 batters but ran into some trouble in the fifth.

With one out in the frame, James Loney doubled down the left-field line for LA's first hit of the contest. Ausmus followed with a single to center, but Dexter Fowler's preemptive throw home held Loney at third. Hammel promptly struck out Juan Castro and pinch-hitter Casey Blake to end the inning.

Colorado struggled as much offensively as their opponents, failing to have a runner reach third base in the first seven innings. Hammel nearly helped himself out with two outs in the seventh and runners on first and second, but his long fly ball was tracked down by Andre Ethier to keep the game scoreless.

The Dodgers finally scratched across a run in the eighth. Ausmus began the frame with a single, and Hammel barely missed on a diving catch attempt at Castro's bunt, which sent Ausmus to second. The near-catch proved costly, as pinch-hitter Furcal sent a Hammel pitch to shallow right for an RBI single and a 1-0 lead.

Broxton promptly came on and set down the Rockies in order to polish off the win.

Game Notes

Hammel has allowed two runs or less in six of his last eight starts and suffered his first loss since May 19...Juan Pierre stole his 22nd base of the season and also got caught stealing for the seventh time...Hammel drew two walks at the plate.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
