Los Angeles, Aug. 6: Braden Looper went a strong 6 2/3 innings and Ryan Braun had a key two-run double Wednesday to lead the Milwaukee past the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1.

Prior to the game, Major League Baseball announced it would investigate an incident at Dodger Stadium Tuesday night in which Brewers' slugger Prince Fielder had to be restrained by stadium security after he tried to get into the Dodgers clubhouse after the game. Fielder was upset Guillermo Mota had hit him with a pitch in the ninth inning of a lopsided LA victory.

Fielder went 0-for-5 Wednesday but he drove in a run for the Brewers who took two out of three to win their first series since beating the Mets twice in a three-game set June 29-July 1.

Atlanta, July 31: Jason Schmidt combined with three relievers on a three-hitter Friday and Andre Ethier drove in four runs, carrying the Los Angeles Dodgers past Atlanta 5-0.

After losing three games in a row for the first time all season, the Dodgers have bounced back with two straight wins.

Schmidt (2-1), trying to come back from two shoulder operations that have sidelined him most of the last three seasons, allowed only one hit through six innings. He walked five, however, and put two base runners on in three different frames.

Los Angeles, July 21: Jason Schmidt went five innings and got the win Monday in his first big-league start in more than two years when the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Cincinnati 7-5.

Schmidt (1-0) -- whose persistent shoulder ailments and numerous rehab assignments had kept him out of a starting role since June 16, 2007 -- allowed three runs on five hits with three walks and two strikeouts for the Dodgers, who won their third straight game.

Schmidt has made just six starts for the Dodgers since signing a three-year free-agent deal worth $47 million in December 2006.

Manny Ramirez had two hits, including a two-run home run, Andre Ethier homered and Casey Blake drove in two runs for the Dodgers.

Jonathan Broxton pitched a perfect ninth to get his 23rd save.

Back surgery ends Eric Milton's season

Los Angeles, July 15: Left-hander Eric Milton of the LA Dodgers has undergone back surgery and is done for the 2009 season, the team said on its Web site.

A procedure, called a microdiskectomy, to remove a herniated disk was performed Tuesday by Dr. Robert Watkins at an undisclosed hospital and is expected to require a three-month hospital stay.

The procedure followed a two-year absence to recover from "Tommy John" left elbow reconstruction surgery.

Milton, 33, a State College, Pa., native, went 2-1 with a 3.80 ERA in five starts (23 2/3 innings) this season.

The back injury forced the Dodgers to place him on the 15-day disabled list on June 28.
