Chad Billingsley pitched one of the best games of his career Friday night in San Diego, leading the Dodgers to a 6-0 win over the Padres for their second straight victory to open the season. The only question was, would Billingsley get his third career shutout?
Cory Luebke's 2012 debut does not go as he probably would've liked for it to go.
The Dodgers got that good outing, and then some. Billingsley struck out 11 batters in 8 1/3 innings as the Dodgers beat the Padres 6-0 to open their season with two straight wins. Billingsley retired 16 batters in a row before allowing a one-out single in the ninth inning to Cameron Maybin.
The Dodgers face their first left-hander of the season Friday night as Cory Luebke starts for the San Diego Padres. One hitter Luebke won't be facing is James Loney, who was given the night off Friday.
As Gaslamp Baller rparad will attest, of course the Padres lost on opening day! [The Padres have won 6 of the 9 home openers at Petco Park] You can't pay top dollar for tickets and field minor...
The Dodgers announced most of the details of their pregame ceremonies for Tuesday's home opener, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dodger Stadium. Will the ceremonial first pitch be thrown by 1962 MVP Maury Wills, or perhaps a family member of 1962 Cy Young Award winner Don Drysdale?
