Dodgers manager Joe Torre met with outfielder Matt Kemp, who was not in the starting lineup for the third straight game, on Tuesday night. Kemp was pressed into action when Manny Ramirez left in the top of the first inning with a hamstring injury. Torre would not divulge what he and Kemp spoke about, saying nothing more than, "I thought the talk went well." The pair were both mum on what triggered the player's benching. "It was just a matter of deciding to play somebody else," Torre said.
