Martin goes deep

Russell Martin's third homer of the year, a two-run shot off Ben Sheets after Jeff Kent's double, just gave the Dodgers the lead in the fourth. Tony Abreu made a throwing error on the first play of his first game in the majors and momentarily bobbled another grounder in the second. But he settled in from there and now has four assists, including starting an inning-ending double play with runners on first and third in the third. Randy Wolf has settled in, also, retiring the side in order in the fourth after getting out of that third-inning jam. Furcal extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a single in the third. The Dodgers already have twice as many runs (two) and hits (four) as they got off Sheets on opening day. Dodgers 3, Brewers 1, bottom 4

Gonzo only has 4 RBIs this month. Martin halved that on that pitch.
