The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 3-2, snapping a four-game losing streak. Clayton Kershaw, who turned 21 today, pitched five scoreless innings, giving up just a walk and a double while striking out three. He also hit a solo-homer in the third inning. Russell Martin had a double, run, and RBI, and Andre Ethier had two hits. Eric Stults ran into trouble in his first game of the spring, giving up two runs in less than two innings. Jeff Weaver and Ramon Troncoso both pitched scoreless innings.
Josh Lindblom was promoted from minor-league camp to the majors. Lindblom was a second-round pick last year and made one relief appearance this spring, pitching two scoreless innings against Oakland.
The Dodgers released Yhency Brazoban today. Brazoban was an acquisition from the Yankees and became the team closer in 2005 after Eric Gagne was injured. However, he has been troubled with weight and health issues, having Tommy John surgery in 2006 and shoulder labrum surgery in 2007.
Jamie Hoffmann was sent to the minors so he can get more playing time. Hoffmann went four-for-six in Spring Training with three doubles, five RBI's, and three runs scored.
