Zack Greinke and the smell of success

LOS ANGELES -- Tuesday night was a highlight moment in a season filled with highlights for Zack Greinke, who led the Dodgers to a 2-1 win over the Giants at Dodger Stadium.

But what makes Greinke unique isn't just his mound dominance, lowering his ERA to a minuscule 1.59 on September 1. It was a moment while batting during the sixth inning, facing San Francisco ace Madison Bumgarner. After a 3-2 foul ball, Greinke smelled his bat.

"I've seen some hitters do it, so I always try to remember to do it when I foul a ball off," Greinke said.
