The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Minnesota Twins 8-0 in Game 2 of the 2006 World Series. Chad Billingsley and Gino Carrara combined to shut out the Twins. Kenny Lofton was 4 for 5 and scored twice in the game for LA. Minnesota starter Boof Bonser allowed a Jeff Kent homerun in the 1st, another run in the 2nd, and was the victim of an error in the 3rd inning that led to 4 Dodger runs.
With the score 6-0 Billingsley cruised through 7 innings throwing 94 pitches before turning the ball over to Carrara. LA got back-to-back homers from Wilson Betemit and Russell Martin off Jesse Crain in the 6th inning to finish the scoring.
The Series heads back to LA now for the next 3 games all tied up 1-1.
