LA Dodgers defeat Oakland Athletics 3-2. Yet another one-run game in this series for the rubber match, and yet another start for Randy Wolf who came away without a decision.

Jonathan Broxton was unavailable again thanks to a sore toe so the job of the save was left to Ronald Belisario and Ramon Troncoso. The Dodgers head down the Golden State Freeway for a weekend series against the Angels.

This past offseason GM Ned Colletti signed free agent pitcher Jason Schmidt to a...

Despite the Los Angeles Dodgers' 7-2 loss Wednesday night in Colorado, no team in Major League Baseball can boast more wins (10) than the Blue Crew heading into Thursday's action. Led by an airtight bullpen, the Dodger pitching staff (2nd best ERA in the National League) has driven much of the team's early season success. This, of course, is a horrible segue (in fact no segue at all) to the subject of Part 4 in our 436-Part Series, "Better Know a Dodger" - outfielder, Andre Ethier.
