Jeff Weaver (Dodgers):
Martin got the game-winning RBI, but the bullpen carried the night from the first pitch to the last. Swingman Jeff Weaver, subbing for the injured Eric Stults and draining a bleeding blister between innings, allowed one run over five innings until Torre decided that was enough and went to Ramon Troncoso, who threw two scoreless innings.
Weaver tried to downplay the blister and tucked his right hand under his leg during the postgame interview so reporters couldn't see the finger.

Jamie Moyer (Phillies):
The Phils lost to the Reds, 5-1, which snapped their five-game winning streak, but Moyer allowed three runs in six innings following one of the worst three-start stretches of his career. It was his second-best start of the season.

Clint Hurdle (Rockies MGR):
Rockies manager Clint Hurdle says he has spoken "ad nauseam" about situational hitting. That's why Troy Tulowitzki's first-pitch swing that led to a double-play grounder in Tuesday night's 8-1 loss to the Braves landed him on the bench on Wednesday. Hurdle said that could be the best way to reinforce his point.
