Dodgers Sweep the Padres!

Behind Andre Ethier's two solo homeruns and Ted Lilly's solid 6 innings, the Dodgers swept the Padres.  Lilly struck out 7 and walked only 2 in his six innings of work.  This was the Dodgers first 3 game sweep of the season.  Additionally, it is the Dodgers first 4-game winning streak of the season.  The Boys in Blue take their 4-game streak into the All-Star Break.  While Andre Ethier, Clayton Kershaw & Matt Kemp are in Arizon for the All Star Game on Tuesday, the rest of the team is off until they open the second half of the season Friday night at Chase Field against the Diamondbacks.
