The Los Angeles Dodgers look for their third straight win Monday night as they host the Los Angeles Angels in the opener of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium. It also starts a six-game homestand for the Dodgers, who have won six of their last seven games and own the best record in baseball at 39-22.
Juan Uribe was activated from the disabled list before Monday's game, but he is not in the starting lineup. Manager Don Mattingly said Uribe, who played three rehab games for Class A Rancho Cucamonga over the weekend, will start the next two days.
"He played three days in a row. I know he's active and I've got him there," Mattingly said. "We're going to work him back slowly."
Elian Herrera gets the start at third base tonight for the Dodgers, the 21st start in the last 23 games for the 27-year old rookie. Here is Monday's Dodgers lineup:
Gordon SS
Herrera 3B
Ethier RF
Abreu LF
Hairston 2B
Loney 1B
Ellis C
Gwynn CF
Capuano P
