Almost There: Los Angeles On Cusp of DS Triumph After 7-0 Win
The Los Angeles Dodgers got a strong performance from pitcher Ramiro Mendoza, who stymied the Washington offense en route to a 7-0 win in Game 4 of the Division Series today. The Senators could never get a bead on the right-handed Mendoza, who threw 5 innings of shutout ball to earn player of the game honors. The Dodgers now hold a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-7 series.

Helping the Los Angeles cause was Torii Hunter. In the top of the fourth, the 22-year old center fielder had a run-scoring single to make the score 2-0, Dodgers.

"Throwing strikes was the main thing," Mendoza said.

The next game is scheduled for tomorrow at RFK Stadium in Washington. The scheduled starters for the game are Bartolo Colon for the Los Angeles Dodgers and John Burkett for the the Washington Senators.
