Ely Manning?

John Ely might as well be a Manning after the way he's been playing.  Last night he took the mound again against the Houston Astros and again, he impressed by playing beyond his years.  He continued his streak of not walking a batter (a refreshing change of pace the way this season has gone) and he showed great control as is becoming usual with him.  Dewitt contributed a pair of triples to the 6-2 win and the great bearded one had an RBI double, along with Loney and Carroll who also contributed RBIs.    Ely finished the game with 7 innings pitched, 8 strikeouts, 5 hits, and 2 earned runs.
The Dodgers are now only two games out of first and could move into second place over the Giants should the giants lose their next two games against the PaDREs.
Tonight features Hiroki Kuroda vs. Bud Norris on Andre Ethier bobblehead night.
