1.   Stanton pitched to two batters in the ninth inning.

2.   With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, he hit a home run to win the game.

3.   Although the Dodgers got a strong inning from newcomer Terry Mulholland, Carrara looked shaky and Shaw has pitched back-to-back poor ninth innings.

4.   And by the time Gonzalez hit his first home run of the season in the ninth inning for his first RBI, it was much too late.

5.   And furthermore, Mark went on, how could Al not feel for him in that awful ninth inning?

6.   And if it were based on the ninth inning, Trevor Hoffman would win it.

7.   And other than the ninth inning, he allowed only one runner to reach second base.

8.   And in the ninth inning, there was another one.

9.   And Park and the Rangers were aided by a defense that turned two double plays, including the game-clincher in the ninth inning.

10.   And when you next see Roger Clemens, it will be at the start of the game, not in the ninth inning.
