PHILADELPHIA -- The Dodgers' decision to start Hiroki Kuroda was an understandable gamble that just didn't work, and manager Joe Torre wouldn't second-guess that call after Kuroda blew up early in their 11-0 defeat to the Phillies in Game 3.

SAN FRANCISCO – Hiroki Kuroda is back in his groove and Casey Blake, too. That does a whole lot for the Dodgers' confidence during the stretch run. So does a rout of the archrival Giants in September. Kuroda dodged the barrel of a broken bat that flew in his direction and retired 19 straight during one stretch, Blake homered and Los Angeles matched its 2008 win total by beating San Francisco 10-3 on...
