Ethier Extends Hit Streak To 27, Dodgers Lose 7-0
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Dustin Moseley pitched seven shutout innings for his first victory of 2011, Brad Hawpe doubled his RBI total for the season with a two-run single, and the San Diego Padres beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-0 on Sunday.
Andre Ethier extended his hitting streak to 27 games when he led off the Dodgers' seventh with a single up the first base line and off the glove of Hawpe as he tried to backhand it behind the bag.
It is the second-longest streak by a Dodger since the club relocated to Los Angeles in 1958, and is five shy of Willie Davis' franchise-record 31-game run in 1969.
Moseley (1-3) gave up three hits and walked three.
Jon Garland (1-2) gave up three runs in five innings.
