    As frustration continued to set in for the Los Angeles Dodgers after the Cincinnati Reds completed a three-game sweep with a 7-2 victory at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, manager Don Mattingly's frustration seemed to center on right-hander Chad Billingsley, who struggled for the third consecutive start.

    The Reds scored all seven of their runs off Billingsley in the first four innings. He also gave up nine hits, all of them when he was either ahead or even in counts.

    "Ultimately, you have to go out and tell yourself you're not going to make mistakes, that you're going to throw the ball where you want to throw it," Mattingly said. "I don't have any magic words. You've got to get yourself ready to play and to pitch to each guy. Really, the mindset has to be that you're not going to be denied, you're not going to make mistakes and they're going to have to fight to beat you.''
