It was Seager Bobblehead Night at Dodger Stadium, and a sellout crowd cheered Moore after the ball plopped onto the grass in shallow right field.Moore was pulled immediately.

I think theres a little something that salvages it for us in a strange way.Obviously, they still got the victory, and well be ready tomorrow.Joe Panik hit a two-run homer for a 3-0 lead in the fourth.Span ran a long way into the left-center field gap in the second inning, reaching below his knee to catch a slicing drive by Adrian Gonzalez near the warning track.In the ninth, Span rushed over to grab a sinking liner by Enrique Hernandez.
