LOS ANGELES DODGERS -125 ? The Dodgers bats were very quiet vs. the Giants, but facing Sean Chacon should be enough to awaken them. Chacon was 6-10 with a 5.06 ERA last year. He was also 2-5 on the road, and had great trouble with his control, walking 47 batters in just 79.2 road innings. Ashby was 2-0 with a 3.86 ERA in April last season before missing the rest of the season with a torn flexor muscle in his elbow. In fact, he has always been a good April pitcher, with a 9-4 record the last 3 years. Most encouraging was the fact that his best Spring start was his last one, when he allowed 1 run and 5 hits in 6 innings vs. Baltimore.
