Yesterday Manny Ramirez continued his push for NL MVP, going 2-4 with a two-run homerun, two runs scored and a walk, raising his average to .398 in another Dodgers victory, brining their magic number to one.
The Dodgers were 54-54 and two games out of first place on July 31 when Manny joined the team. They're now eight games over .500 (83-75) and have clinched a first-place tie for the national league west.
"It feels great," Ramirez said. "We still have to come and get the win and we are going against one of the best pitchers in the league. We just have to come back and battle and play hard."
Ramirez said he wasn't thinking about the postseason when the Boston Red Sox traded him to the Dodgers on July 31.
"I was trying to fit in, play the game and show people that I could play and play hard," he said. "That was my attitude." (Associated Press)
