Dodgers stay alive with win
Haren post-season woes continue in Game 5
October 22, 2008

LOS ANGELES — Dan Haren may be the guy everyone expects to win the Cy Young, but he's struggled to win in the playoffs.

Haren fell to 1-4 in the post-season, and 0-2 in the World series, during a 6-4 Los Angeles Dodgers win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in Game 5 of the World Series.

Haren allowed six runs on seven hits in six innings. He gave up a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning by allowing a pair of two-run home runs off the bats of James Loney and Torii Hunter. The Dodgers added two more runs in the fifth inning.

John Lackey threw two innings of one-hit ball in relief of Haren.

Aaron Harang got the win for L.A., allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk in eight innings. He struck out six Devil Rays.

Jesus Colome picked up the save with a 1-2-3 ninth inning.

Ryan Howard was 1-for-4 in his first appearance in this year's World Series.

The two teams will travel to Florida tomorrow and play Game 6 of the World Series at Tropicana Field. Pedro Martinez, 3-0 this post-season, will look to clinch the title for Tampa Bay while Carlos Silva (1-2, 6.38 ERA in the playoffs) will try to force a decisive Game 7.
