Kazmir looks for elusive home win against Dodgers

Jun 23, 2007 - 2:05 PM LA Dodgers (42-31) at Tampa Bay (31-40), 7:10 pm EDT

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (Ticker) - Scott Kazmir goes for his first home win in nearly a year when the Tampa Bay Devil Rays host the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.

Kazmir (5-3, 4.10 ERA) hasn't been able to pick up a win at Tropicana Field since defeating the Boston Red Sox on July 3. The lefthander, who will face the Dodgers for the first time, has allowed three runs or less in 10 of 15 starts this season.

Randy Wolf (8-5, 4.24 ERA) takes the mound for the Dodgers, who are just 4-21 in their last 25 games in American League ballparks. Though he's allowed just one home run over his last nine starts, Wolf has struggled recently. In four June starts, the lefthander has an 6.86 ERA though he has a 2-2 record to show for it.

Luis Gonzalez had a solo home run and and RBI triple as the Dodgers claimed a 6-3 victory here on Friday in the series opener. With the second-inning longball, Gonzalez became only the fourth Dodgers player to homer as a designated hitter, joining Olmedo Saenz, Mike Kinkade and Chad Kreuter.

Russell Martin has 12 stolen bases and is tied with John Roseboro (1962) for the Dodgers' single-season record for steals by a catcher.
