"There's an old baseball saying for what the Dodgers did in Angel Stadium on Friday night. They put up a "picket fence," which was the visual on the scoreboard after they tallied single runs in five of nine innings for a 5-0 interleague victory over the Angels.

Crooked numbers can be tough to come by when your lineup looks like Matt Kemp and the seven dwarfs. Kemp entered the game with 22 home runs; the rest of the lineup - and that's with a designated hitter - combined for 17 homers, seven by Andre Ethier.

But beggars and pitchers hungry for scraps of support can't be choosy. When you're in last place and 10 games out in the National League West, you take any kind of win.

And when you're 0-6 in your last seven starts despite a 3.54 earned-run average, and your team scored six runs in those games, you'll gladly take five one-spots.

Dodgers right-hander Hiroki Kuroda gave up three hits in seven innings, striking out four and walking one, to earn his first victory since May 17.

Mike MacDougal and Javy Guerra pitched the final two innings to hand the Angels their 10th shutout loss, one more than they had in all of 2010.

The Angels also lost right fielder Torii Hunter, who was hit on the top of the left hand by a Kuroda pitch in the first inning and pulled in the third. Preliminary X-rays were negative, but Hunter underwent a CT scan late Friday night "to make sure they didn't miss anything," Manager Mike Scioscia said."
