Dodgers slip past Padres 1-0 |
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Hiroki Kuroda pitched seven shutout innings and Matt Kemp had two hits and drove in the only run and the Los Angeles Dodgers shut out the San Diego Padres 1-0 on Tuesday. Kuroda (7-13) snapped a four-game losing streak, allowing four hits while striking out eight and walking two. It was his second strong outing in San Diego this season, as he also shut out the Padres in April. Kemp had two hits and drove in the only run, adding to his NL best RBI total (84) as the Dodgers beat San Diego for a fifth consecutive time. Kemp also made a strong defensive play in the ninth, snaring a fly ball off the bat of Aaron Cunningham. Mat Latos (5-11) went seven solid innings while yielding one run, but was pulled for a pinch hitter in the seventh. Mike MacDougal allowed the tying run to reach third base in the eighth after giving up two singles, but recovered to retire the next two batters and preserve the lead. Javy Guerra converted his ninth save in as many chances with a perfect ninth. Latos allowed Dee Gordon to reach on a bunt single in the fourth, and Gordon scored on Kemp’s first single. Latos gave up six hits while striking out six, including four of the first nine batters in the game, and did not issue a walk. The shutout is the Dodgers’ 13th of the season, while San Diego has been held scoreless 16 times this year, including nine times at Petco Park. Blake Tekotte was the lone bright spot for the San Diego offense, collecting three hits in his first game since being recalled from Double-A San Antonio.

Dodgers sign Gwynn to one-year deal |
Updated Dec 12, 2010 7:59 PM ET LOS ANGELES (AP)The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed outfielder Tony Gwynn, Jr. to a one-year contract worth $675,000. Gwynn played last season for the San Diego Padres, the former team of his Hall of Fame father Tony Gwynn. Gwynn, Jr. became a free agent when San Diego failed to offer him a contract for 2011. Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said Saturday that he’s one of baseball’s top defensive outfielders who can play all three outfield positions. Gwynn, Jr. has a .276 career batting average as a pinch hitter. The 28-year-old stole a career-high 17 bases in 21 attempts in 117 games with the Padres last season. He previously played for Milwaukee, which selected him in the second round of the 2003 draft and traded him to the Padres in 2009. That’s all for today. Posted in dodgers-news | Comments Off
