Dodgers Beat Reds as Ray Nets 13th Win in Nine-Hitter Fight
Dodgers pitcher Doug Ray improved to 13-5 with a 3-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Ray allowed four hits in seven innings, with Willie Crawford delivering a two-run homer and Rob Diaz contributing in the rally. Ray credited a healthier arm and better control for his late-season surge as Los Angeles closed the gap in the pennant race. The Dodgers’ magic number stayed at five.
