Manny Ramirez leads Dodgers

Dodgers’ left fielder Manny Ramirez had a four-hit game, including two home runs and scoring three times on Saturday, in the 6-2 Dodgers defeat of the league first place Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix. The needed win ended an 8-game losing streak of the season. That evening, Ramirez became the 47th player in the history of baseball to hit 500 doubles. Ramirez put the Dodgers ahead with a home run in the third inning. His double in the 5th extended the Dodgers’ lead to 5-1. Ramirez’s homer in the seventh ensured the victory.

Manny has been batting .419 (104-44) since his start with the Dodgers on 31 July, with 9 homeruns and 25 RBIs.
