BROWN OUTDUELS NOMO, STOPS DODGERS : FLORIDA 3, DODGERS 0.


Byline: Tim Brown Timothy Donell Brown (born July 22, 1966) is a retired wide receiver, who played in the National Football League. He spent sixteen years with the Oakland Raiders, during which he established himself as one of the League's most prolific wide receivers.  Daily News Staff Writer

Whatever the Dodgers do this summer, it probably won't be bold
For a guideline on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Be bold.


Be bold may refer to:
  • Boldness, the opposite of shyness
  • , the first part of a quote attributed to author and reverend Basil King
. They slinked to the National League West title last season, and are showing a similar posture in this one. The slinking part, anyway.

The club hasn't put more than three consecutive wins together since the middle of May, and therefore has been within a few games either way of .500 all along. In the West, where charisma is not required, the strategy has worked for the better part of four months.

You can see where this is leading.

Only Brown was better. The National League's leader in ERA (1.76) and shutouts (3), Brown allowed six hits in eight innings. Three of the hits were singles by Mike Busch Michael Anthony Busch (born July 7, 1968, in Davenport, Iowa) was a Major League Baseball third baseman. Busch is an alumnus of Iowa State University.

     completed the ninth inning with consecutive strikeouts of Eric Karros, Raul Mondesi and Todd Hollandsworth.

    ``Compare and contrast?,'' asked Mike Piazza, who caught Nomo and was 1 for 4 against Brown. ``Well, Brown got some runs and Nomo didn't. Obviously, you can see why that guy's got a good ERA. He throws it up there, has good movement.

    ``The guy's going to match you, zero for zero.''

    As shutouts go, the Marlins have given a major-league high nine of them, the Dodgers have taken nine of them. This sort of thing was bound to happen, especially against Brown, who ran his scoreless streak to 18 innings. In his last start, he shut out the Philadelphia Phillies on three hits.

    ``The bottom line is we didn't score any runs,'' said interim Dodgers manager Bill Russell, who in 26 games in charge has been shut out four times. ``Kevin Brown was just that good. Not much you can say. You run into (Al) Leiter and Brown, those guys are outstanding pitchers.

    Ten-hits-in-two-games outstanding, though the Dodgers scored seven times on four hits in a victory Tuesday night. Supported by baseball's second-best pitching staff, the Dodgers rarely have lost in bunches, but the club has lost 7 of 11 games.

    ``If we had won 10 in a row,'' Russell said, ``this guy would beat you tonight. He has the capability of doing this, and he did it.

    ``I know you guys are looking for Looking for

     something else, but there isn't something else. (Brown) was just that good.''

    The Dodgers advanced only two runners into scoring position, Busch in the third and pinch-hitter Dave Hansen in the eighth. That was the extent of it.

    The Marlins led 1-0 until the seventh, when Sheffield singled to DeShields at second base, and continued to second when DeShields threw the ball wide of first base and past Karros. Nomo walked Jeff Conine, and Devon White grounded into a fielders' choice that put runners at second and third. Orsulak ripped a two-strike fastball into center field.

    Nomo lost for the fourth time in six decisions, during which he has allowed 19 runs, including a rocky start in Denver.

    ``I think the key to the whole games was the seventh inning,'' Nomo said through an interpreter. ``The home run, that was only the first inning, and it was only a solo home run.''

    The errant throw counted as DeShields' eighth error in the past 13 games, and his ninth in 17 games. In the 81 games before DeShields started dropping, kicking and muffing every ball that approached him, DeShields made three errors.

    Rookie Juan Castro probably will start today in place of DeShields, who on top of the errors has 13 hits in 73 July at-bats.
