With Kenley Jansen's first major league win last night and Octavio Dotel's first win as a Dodger on Friday night, here's a look at all 17 Dodgers to get a victory this season, and the date of their first Dodger win of 2010:
| Pitcher | First Win of 2010 |
| Billingsley | April 8 |
| Kuroda | April 9 |
| Kershaw | April 13 |
| Broxton | April 15 |
| Padilla | April 16 |
| Troncoso | April 18 |
| Monasterios | April 24 |
| Ra.Ortiz | May 1 |
| Weaver | May 7 |
| Ely | May 11 |
| Schlichting | June 2 |
| Kuo | June 4 |
| Belisario | June 6 |
| Sherrill | July 24 |
| Lilly | August 3 |
| Dotel | September 10 |
| Jansen | September 11 |
Jon Link is the only pitcher currently on the roster without a win, and he hasn't pitched since getting recalled on Monday. In fact, he last pitched for Albuqerque on September 1. Link fits right in with today's starter, Carlos Monasterios, who hasn't pitched in a game since getting shelled by the Phillies on August 31.
Nelson Figueroa, the pride of Brandeis University, gets the start for the Astros today. He, like J.A. Happ, began his season with the Phillies, and was acquired by Houston in July. However, in the case of Figueroa, he was claimed off waivers on July 21. After beginning his Astros' career with no walks and 13 strikeouts in eight relief appearances, Figueroa was moved into the starting rotation, a move that so far has met with success. He is 2-1 with a 2.57 ERA in five starts, although his strikeout-to-walk ratio is a bit more ordinary 19-15.
Brad Ausmus, getting the start today in his final regular season game in his former baseball home of Houston, has three hits in eight at-bats, including a double, against Figueroa.
Game Time: 11:05 a.m.

Scoring change
The error on Jay Gibbons from the 11th inning Friday has been changed to a hit (for Humberto Quintero, off Octavio Dotel)

Amazingly in the Giants v Padres game today
The over/under line is only 5-1/2 runs. Simulator says 5.74, so I wouldn’t bet against it happening. Lowest o/u I have recorded of the season so far this year.
Awesome
My first thought was…Lincecum/Latos? And sure enough, yep.

Last game before a 9-game stretch with playoff contenders
This was visible from miles away! :)

Since they called up the farm team,
What are the chances the regs playing in SF? I want to go to the games, but not to witness them pound our AAA team.

High. They don’t want to be accused of tanking it down the stretch against teams vying for a playoff spot.

I would bet a lot of money that the regulars will play almost all the next 9 games, with very few variations.

Cavazos-Galvez just popped a 2-run homer
Dude was crazy hot the last two months or so, too bad it looks like he’s got basically zero chance of being anything.
