A.J. Ellis is very team-oriented, so the last thing he wanted to do after the Dodgers' 6-1 win over the Cubs on Friday was talk about himself, even if he did hit two home runs for the first time in his major league career.
Chad Billingsley continued his masterful run with seven strong innings, while battery mate A.J. Ellis took the nation by storm with the best night of his career in the Dodgers' 6-1 win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night at Dodger Stadium.
Dodgers starting pitcher Ted Lilly, who hasn't pitched for the team since May 23, was scheduled to pitch his second rehab game for Class A Rancho Cucamonga, but that will not happen. Lilly suffered a setback that has thrown his rehab off schedule.
The Cubs open a three-game series against the Dodgers in Los Angeles Friday night.
Chad Billingsley looks for his third straight win on Friday night as the Dodgers open a three-game weekend set with the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium. Since returning from the disabled list, Billingsley has been especially good.
