Dodgers seek to complete three-game sweep of rival Giants
Apr 8, 2007 - 4:37 PM LA Dodgers (3-2) at San Francisco (1-4) 4:05 pm EDTSAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- The San Francisco Giants hope the richest pitcher in baseball history can help them avert a three-game sweep against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Barry Zito signed a seven-year, $126 million deal with the Giants in the offseason after spending the first seven years of his career across the bay with the Oakland Athletics.
Zito got off to a shaky start in his first National League start, surrendering three runs - two earned - in five innings of a 7-0 loss to San Diego. The lefthander has made two previous starts against the Los Angeles Dodgers, posting a 1-0 record with a 3.00 ERA.
The Dodgers will counter with Randy Wolf (0-1), who allowed four runs in six innings against Milwaukee last Tuesday.
The 30-year-old lefthander is 4-3 with a 4.01 ERA in his career against the Giants. He has kept slugger Barry Bonds in check (2-for-14 with one homer).
Bonds got his first day off of the season in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers. The 42-year-old slugger has 735 career homers, 20 behind all-time leader Hank Aaron.
