Derek Lowe surrendered three earned runs in four and 1/3 innings pitched. He also walked four batters, although 57% of the pitches that he threw were strikes. As a result of this horrific performance, the pitcher's Earned-Run Average is now 2.59.
James Loney unfortunately snapped his 15-game hitting-streak. However, the slugger is still batting .339 in the 2008 Regular Season. Hopefully, the cease of this streak will not result in a slump or dip in his confidence.
Andy LaRoche is expected to return to the Dodgers' line-up by early may. The third-baseman is scheduled to report to Los Angeles' Spring Training facility on Monday. In other words, Nomar Garciaparra's days at the starting third-baseman for the Dodgers may be numbered.
Los Angeles will play the Atlanta Braves at 3:55 PM EST today. Chad Billingsley, currently with an 0-2 record in the Regular Season, is looking to get his first win. Hopefully, he will achieve his goal.
The Dodgers' line-up for tonight has been provided below:
- Furcal, SS.
- Ethier, LF.
- Kemp, RF.
- Kent, 2B.
- Loney, 1B.
- Martin, C.
- Jones, CF.
- Garciaparra, 3B.
- Billingsley, SP.

When LaRoche comes back that good mean the end of DeWitt for awhile. I think he held his own and should get another chance, if there's an injury, or at least in Sept. Andrew Jones just hit a HR!!! Is he getting his punch back?

Perhaps. Andruw Jones is a decent CF for now.

LaRoche will definitely push DeWitt down to the Minors.
