Al Downing drove in three runs with a double and single to help himself at bat while pitching the Dodgers to a 6-2 victory over the Phillies. Downing's double with the bases loaded produced two of the Dodgers' four runs in the fourth inning and his single in the eighth scored Bill Sudakis, who had doubled. [The Sporting News]
