Dodgers go for sweep of Giants in season finale

Sep 30, 2007 - 3:06 PM San Francisco (70-91) at LA Dodgers (82-79) 4:10 pm EDT

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- The Los Angeles Dodgers will be going for a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants when the two teams meet in the regular-season finale on Sunday.

The Giants have lost four games in a row and were defeated by Los Angeles, 6-5, in 10 innings on Saturday.

Luis Gonzalez had the game-winning hit for the Dodgers, who have still lost 10 of their last 13 games despite winning the past two.

Barry Zito (10-13, 4.63 ERA) will be taking the mound for the Giants. He notched his first win in over a month on Monday despite allowing four runs and eight hits over five innings in a 9-4 win over the San Diego Padres. The victory extended his streak of 10 or more wins in a season to seven.

Over five career turns against the Dodgers, the lefthander is 2-2 with a 4.68 ERA.

Eric Stults (4-8, 5.34) will be making just his fifth start of the season and first one since September 5. On that day against the Chicago Cubs, he allowed four runs - three earned - and eight hits over 4 1/3 innings in an 8-2 setback.

In four starts this campaign, the righthander is 1-2 with a 4.22 ERA. Stults has a limited track record against the Giants, posting a 2.70 ERA in one career start and one relief appearance - spanning 6 2/3 innings.
