LOS ANGELES — A few hours before Monday night's first pitch at Dodger Stadium, Jimmy Rollins sat in the home dugout and deemed the night simply "another baseball game.
Right.
In his first game against his former longtime team, Rollins, who has struggled through his first half-season in Los Angeles, drove in the go-ahead run for the Dodgers. His two singles, two runs scored and two runs batted in were key in his new club's 10-7 win over the Phillies.
The go-ahead two-run single came in the seventh inning against Phillies reliever Jeanmar Gomez. With runners on second and third and two outs, Rollins hit a 1-0 sinker the other way to left field.
