Hendrickson, Dodgers hope to end slide against Reds

Aug 7, 2007 - 1:28 PM LA Dodgers (58-53) at Cincinnati (47-64) 7:10 pm EDT

CINCINNATI (Ticker) -- Mark Hendrickson and the Los Angeles Dodgers were on top only one week ago. Now they are on the outside looking in.

Hendrickson and the Dodgers hope to avoid a season-high fifth straight loss when they open a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday.

After dropping the rubber match of a three-game series with San Francisco on Thursday, Los Angeles was swept over the weekend by National League West-leading Arizona.

It was the fourth time the Dodgers had dropped four in a row in 2007. Los Angeles hasn't lost five straight since losing eight consecutive games last July.

The Dodgers enter the contest four games behind the first-place Diamondbacks (63-50) in the division standings. Los Angeles also trails the San Diego Padres (60-51) by two games in the wild card race.

Hendrickson (4-5, 4.55 ERA) takes the mound looking for his first winning start in almost a month.

The 6-9 lefthander's last victory as a starter was July 8, a 9-3 triumph over the Florida Marlins. Since then, the 33-year-old has gone 1-1 in five appearances. His only win in that span came in two innings of relief in an 8-7 win at San Francisco on July 14.

Cincinnati counters with Bronson Arroyo (4-12, 4.72), who looks to end a personal two-game losing streak.

The righthanded Arroyo was tagged for seven runs and seven hits in 1 2/3 innings in a 7-2 loss vs. Washington last Wednesday.
