#38---LA @ STL, 7/5/2002
Here's a great scorekeeping tip for you, that will make you look really intelligent should you ever start a vanity blog of your own scoresheets: forget to write the date down on the sheet. A trip to Baseball-Reference revealed that it was July 5, 2002.
The Dodgers scored in the top of the first, but a Pujols homer put St. Louis in front in their half of the inning, and they added two in the second and another in the fifth. But LA came back and led 6-5 going into the bottom of the ninth. Eric Gagne was summoned in the ninth, but Miguel Cairo and Kerry Robinson singled to put men on second and third with nobody out. Fernando Vina was intentionally walked, and it paid off as Placido Polanco hit back to the box for a 123 double play. Gagne coaxed an Edmonds warning track fly, and the Dodgers held on.
