The Dodgers squeaked past the San Francisco Giants, 1-0, behind a four-hitter from Clayton Kershaw.

Kershaw struck out three and didn’t walk a batter in winning his 12^th game of the season.

Reed Johnson scored the only run of the game on an error in the sixth inning.

It looks like the Dodgers will be without leftfielder Scott Podsednik for the rest of the season. He has an injured foot that will sideline him for the next two weeks. There are only 20 games left in the season.

He is reportedly headed to Dallas for a second opinion. It is expected that Jay Gibbons will play in left field if Podsednik is unable to finish the season.

The Dodgers and Giants continue their series tonight. It will be Chad Billingsley for the Dodgers against Matt Cain for the Giants. Pregame starts at 6:30 on AM 1220, KHTS.
