Capuano pitches Dodgers to 3-1 win over Angels

Capuano outdueled Ervin Santana with seven gritty innings, leading the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory on Saturday in Game 2 of their "Freeway Series" revival and helping end the NL West leaders' four-game losing streak. The eight-year veteran worked with runners on base in every inning except the second, giving up a leadoff hit in each of his last four innings. The Dodgers grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first with the help of throwing errors by the Angels' infield. Howie Kendrick legged out a double to left-center leading off the Angels' fifth, and Izturis followed with a chopper off the plate that Capuano made a diving stop on to the right of the mound before throwing him out. Kendrick got to third on the play and scored on Erick Aybar's single in the hole off the glove of a diving Gordon at shortstop, cutting the Dodgers' lead to 2-1. Santana retired 13 consecutive batters after Uribe's error, but Gordon broke the string in the sixth with a leadoff triple over the head of left fielder Mark Trumbo, and Hairston drove in the Dodgers' third run with a sharp single off the glove Izturis as he played the ball near the line. Gordon appeared to beat out a bunt single leading off the seventh, but umpire C.B. Bucknor ruled him out on a headfirst slide after second baseman Kendrick charged the ball and made a sidearm flip to Pujols. The Dodgers are 16-29 at Anaheim during the regular season since interleague play was established in 1997, and 38-53 overall against the Angels.
