Brian Matthews had a nice game, homering in the 6th inning. Kenlsey Jansen went hitless after being demoted from Low A.

Rookie Ball - GCL Dodgers won 16-10

Pedro Baez - 3 for 6, 2B, 3B, RBI, 3 R, K
Kyle Orr - 2 for 5, HR (1), 2 RBI, 2 R, K
Yosanddy Garcia - 2 for 5, 2 HR (2), 5 RBI, 2 R, K

Carlos Alvarez - 1 IP, 0 Hits, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's

An extremely exciting game kicked off the Dodgers' GCL season. Midget southpaw Carlos Alvarez, apparently rehabbing from an injury, started the game and struck out the side in the 1st after being given a 2-0 lead. The Dodgers scored 5 more times in the next 4 innings to take a 7-3 lead into the 6th. 2006 4th rounder Kyle Orr homered in his 2nd professional at bat, a 2 run shot to center field in the 3rd. Lefty Jon Dutton came in for Alvarez and worked 4 innings, allowing 3 runs. But the lead was lost when Mario Garcia replaced Dutton and allowed 5 runs in his only frame. Luis Garcia allowed another pair in the 7th and the Dodgers fell behind 10-7. But the Dodgers made a miraculous comeback in the 9th. Johan Garcia led off with a walk and Joseph Becker forced him out at 2nd. Then back to back doubles by Lyndon Poole and Pedro Baez produced 2 runs to cut the lead to 10-9. Keyter Collado walked and a pitching change preceded an error on a force attempt that could have ended the game, instead tying it at 10-10. Kyle Orr followed with a single which brought up Yosanddy Garcia. Garcia had already homered to lead off the 2nd inning and with the bases loaded, he hit a grand slam to give the Dodgers the lead. 2 more runs would score on a 2 out double and that would be the game. What an exciting beginning to hopefully an enjoyable season in the GCL.
