Kuroda Shuts Out Padres To Lead Dodgers
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Hiroki Kuroda came within one out of his third career shutout and Andre Ethier had a homer among his three hits to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers over the San Diego Padres 4-0 Saturday night.
Earlier in the day, Tony Gwynn Jr. singled in the go-ahead run against his former team with two outs in the 11th inning and the Dodgers won 4-2 in a game that had been suspended at 1:40 a.m. after four rain delays totaling 3 hours, 36 minutes. The game took nearly 24 hours to complete.
Kuroda (2-0) was dominating in the regularly scheduled game until the seventh, when he still managed to get out of a bases-loaded jam. Until then, he allowed only a walk to Chris Denorfia in the second and a single to Orlando Hudson in the fourth.
