Torre Keeps Dodgers On Top

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

The Dodgers have had limited success against the AL, but a strong start to their current stretch of interleague games could indicate that those struggles are in the past.

The NL West-leading Dodgers look to carry some momentum from a rare interleague series win into Tuesday night as they open a three-game set against the lowly Oakland Athletics.

Los Angeles (42-22) entered its weekend road series against first-place Texas with a 16-32 mark versus the AL since the start of the 2006 season. The Dodgers won three of 16 series in that span.

The Dodgers dropped Friday's opener 6-0, but bounced back with a 3-1 victory Saturday and a 6-3 win in the finale.

The Dodgers, owners of the majors' best record, have not won three straight games against the AL since sweeping a series from the Los Angeles Angels from May 19-21, 2006.

The Dodgers follow this series with three-game sets against the Angels, Chicago White Sox and Seattle.

The A's have won 10 of their last 12 versus the Dodgers, whom they haven't met since 2006.

The Los Angeles Sports Council is a non-profit civic organization whose primary purpose is to promote economic development through sports in the Los Angeles/Orange County area.

On behalf of the community, the Sports Council bids against other cities for the right to host major sporting events, often staging or helping to stage events after successful bids.

Founded in 1988, the Sports Council's efforts represent more than $1 billion in overall economic impact for the region and range from NCAA Championships to the Super Bowl, and from the U.S Olympic Trials to the World Cup.

The Council also works in support of each of the area's established sports teams and facilities.
