A Tiger? In Los Angeles?

Lots to catch up on on this (if your me, snowy.) Monday.  Interleague play started this weekend, with Chad Billingsley on Friday, John Ely on Saturday, and Hiroki Kuroda on Sunday.
Friday saw the Dodgers get the 4-1 win against Dontrelle Willis.  Billingsley went seven innings, four hits, one run, and 5 K's.  AJ Ellis, Man-Ram, and Nick Green all had RBI's and Reed Johnson went 3-3 and added a double.  At this point, the Dodgers have now inched their way into a tie for first place with San Diego. 
On Saturday, new favorite John Ely took the mound against Armando Galarraga and proceeded to get the 6-4 win.  Ely went 6 innings with 2 earned runs and only one walk. The great bearded one and Matt Kemp both went yard, and Man-Ram, Matt Kemp, the beard, Loney and Dewitt all had RBI's.
Sunday was the only loss of the series, with Hiroki Kuroda facing Rick Porcello in a 6-2 Tiger win.  Xavier Paul had two RBI's, while Dewitt and Carroll also scored.   Not a terrible loss, one that they can take.
Tomorrow the Dodger face the Cubs, with Clayton Kershaw facing Ryan Dempster.
