Dodgers' Clock Strikes 12 with Win

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1, their 12th straight victory at Dodger Stadium. The twelve wins ties the 1911 Detroit Tigers for the record for most consecutive home victories to start a season. The Dodgers scored all three runs in the first inning, and Jeff Weaver shined in his first start since 2007, allowing only one run in five innings while pitching on a strict pitch-count. Jonathan Broxton had a perfect ninth for his eighth save of the season. Andre Ethier had two hits, an RBI and a run scored, and Orlando Hudson doubled and scored a run. Augie Ojeda had three hits for the D-Backs, who went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
