Short and Sweet...

Series Recap—Dodgers at Arizona


4/16: Dodgers 5, Diamondbacks 1

The third consecutive good start for Brad Penny. He hasn't been overpowering, but boy, has he been effective. The Bums move into first place with the best record in the majors.

4/17: Dodgers 6, Diamondbacks 4

Tomko regressed to the mean, but didn't completely blow up, so the Dodgers have that going for them. Juan Pierre appears to have finally started hitting during the series. He had two weakly hit singles in the first game, but last night he scorched a double and a triple. If nothing else he sure does run fast.

Jason Schmidt had an MRI, and wound up on the DL with shoulder bursitis. It was mentioned over at DT that he's had this before, and it didn't cause him to miss many starts. Tsao was recalled from Vegas to take his place. Hendrickson will probably get Schmidt's next start.

Speaking of the DL, Colletti has some decisions coming up. Kemp is rehabbing in Vegas, Yhency Brazoban is rehabbing in A ball, and Kuo is throwing bullpen sessions in preparation for a bullpen session.
