Behind a 4-hit shutout by Dan Haren and three doubles by Carl Crawford, a confident Dodger team beat the pesky San Diego Padres tonight, 4-0.

Dan Haren allowed just four hits in seven innings, making him 4-1 with a 1.70 ERA in his last seven games. he has not allowed an earned run in his last two games against the Padres.

Carl Crawford, meanwhile, emerging from a quiet summer with a vengeance, went 4 for 4, with three doubles, an RBI and a run scored.

The team played with a noticeable confidence both on the field and at the plate, and everyone seemed to share the same vibe, as Juan Uribe and Justin Turner each went 2 for 4.

The Dodgers were also aided by two overturned umpire calls, in the Dodgers’ favor.

Decisions or not, the team could be, as the saying goes, peaking at just the right time.

The Dodgers travel to San Francisco for a weekend series, which begins Friday. Here’s how we blogged tonight’s game.

 

The Dodgers play the San Diego Padres today at Dodger Stadium. It’s the third game of their series, before they head north to San Francisco to play Los Gigantes.

Meanwhile, here is a snippet from Manager Don Mattingly’s pre-game interview.

The Dodgers have an 11-7 record against the Padres this year, and a slim 2 1/2 game lead over the Giants, making the upcoming series, um, you know, important.
