Dodgers were performing well when Nomar Garciaparra was on the disabled list. So putting together another exciting winning splash through his latest dry spell wasn’t much of a stretch. Garciaparra was an unpleasant spark Saturday night in the Dodgers’ 14-5 rout of the Colorado Rockies. His three-run homer and a three-run double was an aid for Brad Penny to win the National League’s first 15-games and also kept the NL West leaders four games ahead of second-place San Diego. Penny concealed his preceding career high for wins after being wagered to a 7-0 lead. The right-hander played five runs and nine hits in 5 1-3 innings. He struck out two and did not walk a batter, after giving up nine walks over his previous two outings. Penny was 5-0 against the Rockies this season with a 1.93 ERA. He became the first pitcher ever to beat Dodgers five times in a year. I wish Bred Penny all the very best for his next performances.
