Varitek Hits 2 home runs in Dodgers Win
In a tight contest at Oakland Coliseum, the Los Angeles Dodgers edged the Oakland Athletics by the score of 3-2. Los Angeles catcher Jason Varitek, who blasted 2 home runs, was named the player of the game. Scott Radinsky, credited with the save, is now 12 for 12 in save opportunities. The Dodgers now own a record of 42-45.

Varitek contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Los Angeles in the top of the fifth. With his team trailing 2-1, Varitek took a sinker from William VanLandingham and stroked the home run to right-center. His 10th home run of the season allowed the Dodgers to leap in front, 3-2.

"I like what I saw today," said Los Angeles manager Dave Ginter, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."
