    Standing in the on-deck circle and with first base open, Carlos Gonzalez briefly wondered if the Los Angeles Dodgers would pitch around pinch-hitter Jason Giambi to face him.

    Sorry, CarGo. No chance.

    Gonzalez had already hit two towering homers off NL Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw in the game and the Dodgers wanted no part of him at the plate.

    So, they went after Giambi and he launched a three-run homer off Scott Elbert in the ninth inning, lifting the Rockies to an 8-5 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.
