The Los Angeles Dynamos held off a comeback, topping the Chicago Docs 6-5 in a sloppy game. Troy Tulowitzki hit a home run off Tom Seaver to lead off the game for Chicago. After an error by Ron Santo in the 2nd, Barry Bonds took Seaver deep to put Chicago up 3-0. Los Angeles responded in the bottom of the inning against William Bell. Craig Biggio hit an RBI single with 2 outs, and Turkey Stearnes followed with a 3-run homer to give LA the lead. Los Angeles loaded the bases to lead off the 4th and 5th innings, but only had one run to show for it, as Bell pitched out of the jam nearly unscathed both times. Chicago mounted a rally in the 6th when Jim Edmonds singled home Buster Posey. Pete Rose walked to load the bases with just one out. Bonds followed with a sacrifice fly to tie the game, but that’s all Chicago would get. After a Tulowitzki error, Ron Santo hit a sac fly to put LA on top again. Chicago had a chance in the 8th when back-to-back errors by Pee Wee Reese and Tony Gwynn loaded the bases, but Seaver struck out Lonny Frey and got Tulowitzki to ground out to end the chance. Lee Smith pitched a scoreless 9th to pick up his 9th save. The win ends LA’s 4-game losing streak and keeps them 3 games behind Houston. Stearnes finished 4 for 5, and is hitting .415 so far.
