Dodgers do heavy damage in 13-4 win over Cardinals LOUIS - Fans were still finding their seats when St. Louis Cardinals rookie Shelby Miller threw the second pitch of the game to the Dodgers' Carl Crawford on Wednesday night. Crawford hit a line drive directly at Miller, striking the right-hander's throwing elbow as the Busch Stadium crowd let out a gasp. "I honestly thought he broke his arm, I've never seen a ball hit that flush on an elbow," the Dodgers' Skip Schumaker said. The ball hit Miller with such force that it caromed off the pitcher and flew into shallow left field, enabling Crawford to reach second base with a double. BOX SCORE: Dodgers 13, Cardinals 4 Miller was led off the field, and an inning later the Cardinals called on veteran Jake Westbrook, their scheduled starting pitcher for Thursday. The Dodgers then jumped all over Westbrook with six runs in the second inning on their way to a 13-4 win, their sixth victory in the last seven games. The Dodgers had a season-high 18 hits, including four by Crawford, and Schumaker and Andre Ethier each had four runs batted in. After having their streak of consecutive road wins end at 15 here Tuesday night, the Dodgers' win also meant the club still has not lost consecutive games since June 20-21. Miller is a 22-year-old Texan in his second big league season. After Crawford's liner hit him, Miller bent over at the waist for a few seconds before standing up. He grimaced in pain as a trainer rushed to his side. The Cardinals said Miller suffered a bruised elbow but that X-rays were negative. "I thought it hit off his back at first ... [was] just hoping he was all right," Crawford said. Reliever Michael Blazek finished the inning, then the Cardinals handed the ball to Westbrook (7-7), who was working on three days' rest. It was Westbrook's first regular-season relief appearance since 2004 when he pitched for the Cleveland Indians, and it did not go well. In addition to scoring the six runs in the second inning, the Dodgers scored three times during Westbrook's 42/3 innings. Their key hits included a two-run single by Jerry Hairston Jr. and a two-run single by Schumaker, a former Cardinal who later had two run-scoring singles. Ethier's three hits included a three-run double in the ninth inning. Right-hander Ricky Nolasco (8-9) held the Cardinals scoreless through the first four innings. But in the fifth inning, Nolasco threw wildly to first base on Daniel Descalso's grounder, opening the door for a three-run inning. "Any time you give [the Cardinals] an extra out, they're that dangerous," Nolasco said. You can't do that. With Westbrook now unavailable, the Cardinals said they called up right-hander Carlos Martinez from triple-A Memphis to face left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu in the series finale Thursday night.
