Dodgers LHP Wells out to prove Padres wrong in opener

Aug 31, 2007 - 3:25 PM LA Dodgers (70-63) at San Diego (73-60) 10:05 pm EDT

SAN DIEGO (Ticker) - The San Diego Padres thought David Wells' career was over. Wells get his chance to prove them wrong when he takes the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the opener of a three-game series on Friday.

The Padres released Wells (6-8, 5.46 ERA) on August 9 after he allowed 26 runs in his last 16 2/3 innings. However, the 44-year-old lefthander signed with the Dodgers on Saturday. Wells then showed he still has something left in the tank against the New York Mets on Sunday, yielding two runs and seven hits in five innings of a 6-2 win.

Los Angeles (70-63), which has won four straight, picked up one-half game on San Diego, which lost, 8-7, on Thursday to the first-place Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers currently trail the Padres (73-60) by 2 1/2 games and the Diamondbacks (75-60) by four games.

Wilfredo Ledezma (3-3, 5.68) makes his first start of the season for San Diego, which has won seven of 10. Ledezma has worked as a long reliever since being acquired from Atlanta at the trade deadline.

The Padres saw their three-game winning streak come to an end, but still lead the Philadelphia Phillies (71-62) by two games and the Dodgers by three games in the wild card race.
