Detroit Tigers vs Los Angeles Dodgers
10:10 PM ET, June 20, 2011
Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
Although the Los Angeles Dodgers snapped their five-game skid, the offense did little to suggest it has turned the corner.
They seem to have a decent chance of getting on track against one of their former teammates.
In Monday's series opener against the Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles hopes to add to the pitching woes of scheduled starter Brad Penny, who was knocked around in his only start at Dodger Stadium since leaving the team three years ago.
The Dodgers (32-41) defeated Houston 1-0 on Sunday behind backup catcher Dioner Navarro's eighth-inning homer. Navarro will likely see his playing time increase with Rod Barajas being placed on the disabled list before the game.
"The best part about all this was getting rid of the funk that was in here during the losing streak," Navarro said. "It's nice to hear the loud music again and see the happy faces, because the last five games really got us down. Hopefully, this is the start of something good."
