    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Dodgers might be getting to a point where they have to consider putting Jonathan Broxton into the closer’s role. Takashi Saito, the team’s closer for the past two seasons, suffered his second blown save in four opportunities this season, and it was a costly failure for the Dodgers.</div>
    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>third baseman Nomar Garciaparra, who strained his left calf going after Scott Podsednik's double down the left-field line in the ninth. That's the same tender calf that caused Garciaparra to spend three weeks on the disabled list last summer and figures to land him there again, with the Dodgers saying early this morning that they expect to put Garciaparra on the disabled list today, likely recalling rookie Blake DeWitt, who was sent to the minors less than 36 hours earlier.</div>

    Its time to put Broxton as the closer, Saito getting older and not getting the job done as for Garciaparra he was pretty decent but hes injury prone.
