"Angels left-hander Kazmir exorcised some of his offseason struggles with his first spring victory in six starts Tuesday night when the Angels defeated the Dodgers, 5-1, in the Angels' spring finale at Angel Stadium.

Torii Hunter went 3 for 3 with a homer and four RBIs, and Howie Kendrick doubled home a run.

Kazmir, the former All-Star and pricey fifth starter due to earn $12 million this season, worked 4 1/3 efficient innings, throwing 49 pitches, 30 for strikes.

He allowed three hits, an earned run, a walk to the first batter, Rafael Furcal, and a Rod Barajas third-inning home run."
