Rookie gives up three hits in seven scoreless innings to defeat Florida, 4-0, helping L.A. to its 17th victory in 18 games and a 31/2-game lead in NL West.

It may not be long now before the Dodgers are partying like it's 1899. They'd certainly settle for 1988, the last year they won a World Series title, but with a cast of new and unlikely heroes continually emerging to lead this charge, there's no telling how deep historians might have to plunge into the record books before this season ends.
The latest Dodgers protagonist was Chad Billingsley, an erratic rookie right-hander who needed a strong outing to remain entrenched in the rotation. He responded with a command performance Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, pitching seven shutout innings and combining with two relievers on a three-hitter during the Dodgers' 4-0 victory over the Florida Marlins.
The Dodgers have never been 17-1 in any stretch of games since moving to L.A.

Dodgers!
Just wish they'd kept DePodesta.
