Schmidt makes debut for Dodgers

Apr 4, 2007 - 3:43 PM La Dodgers (0-2) at Milwaukee (0-2) 8:05 pm EDT

MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- Jason Schmidt will be looking to do what an ace is supposed to do - stop a losing streak.

Trying to avoid a three-game sweep, the Los Angeles Dodgers send Schmidt to the mound Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers.

After going 78-37 in 5 1/2 seasons with the San Francisco Giants, Schmidt signed a three-year, $47 million contract with the rival Dodgers.

Schmidt went 11-9 with a 3.59 ERA last season, his fewest wins since the 2000 campaign.

The Brewers also send out a free-agent acquisition in Jeff Suppan, who inked a four-year, $42 million contract in the offseason.

Suppan spent his last three seasons with St. Louis. He was brilliant last postseason for the Cardinals en route to winning MVP honors in the National League Championship series.

Suppan went 12-7 with a 4.12 ERA last season. He is 3-3 with a 3.98 ERA in his career against the Dodgers.

Kevin Mench and Prince Fielder each hit two-run homers to power the Brewers to a 4-3 victory on Tuesday.

Los Angeles has managed just four runs in the first two games.
