Correia makes early exit in New York rout

Kevin Correia, recently added to the Dodgers’ pitching staff to compensate for a spate of injuries, gave up three homeruns and seven runs total in three innings of work yesterday as New York pummeled Los Angeles 11-3 to avoid a three-game sweep in Los Angeles.

Carlos Frias came into relieve Correia in the fourth but he didn’t fare much better, surrendering three runs on five hits as the Mets built a 7-1 lead after three frames.

For the Dodgers, the few bright spots came at the plate where Adrian Gonzalez went three-for-three and Andre Ethier and Dee Gordon each notched a pair of hits.

Thankfully for Los Angeles, the Giants dropped a 14-6 laugher to the Nats to preserve the Dodgers 4.5 game lead in the National League West.

The Dodgers send Roberto Hernandez, another recent pitching addition, to the mound tonight in the opening game of a two-game set at Arizona.


Bartolo Colon got the win for the Mets, giving up two runs on five hits through six innings.
