51,005 fans watched an exciting game at Dodger Stadium.  The Los Angeles(NL)
Dodgers topped the San Diego Padres by the slimmest of margins, 3 to 2.
 
Los Angeles(NL) came up with all the runs they needed in the 2nd inning
scoring 3 runs utilizing 4 base hits.  After an out was recorded, Mike
Cameron got things rolling when he blasted a solo shot (his 1st of the
season).  Ronnie Belliard stepped up next and he ripped a base-knock.  Jose
Molina then doubled.  Chone Figgins was up next and he slapped a one-base
hit.  Todd Helton stepped into the box and would hit into a force play.  The
early run support proved sufficient for Bronson Arroyo(1-0) and Los
Angeles(NL).  That was all the run support Arroyo required.  Arroyo got help
from Jose Arredondo who pitched great and earned his 2nd save.  
 
Joe Blanton(0-1) took the loss.  He allowed 3 runs and 8 hits in 7 and 2/3
innings.
