Josh Beckett still looking for first win with Dodgers

ON THE MOUND: Josh Beckett remains in search of his first victory, as he made another solid start for which he wasn’t rewarded. Beckett limited the Giants to one run and five hits over 6 2/3 innings, lowering his earned-run average to 2.80 in the process. He didn’t give up a run until the seventh inning, when he served up a home run to Brandon Hicks. The Dodgers lost the game in the 10th inning, which started with J.P. Howell walking Angel Pagan with one out. Howell was replaced by Jamey Wright, who loaded the bases and gave up a sacrifice fly to Hector Sanchez that drove in the go-ahead run. Brandon Belt added an insurance run with a run-scoring single.

AT THE PLATE: The Dodgers were limited to a run and five hits over 7 1/3 innings by Ryan Vogelsong. They managed to manufacture a run in the fifth inning, when Matt Kemp singled, advanced to second on a walk by Carl Crawford, reached third on a flyout by Juan Uribe and scored on a sacrifice fly by Drew Butera.

UH-OH: Uribe felt something in his right hamstring and was taken out of the game as part of a ninth-inning double switch. Uribe’s experienced “mild” soreness, according to the Dodgers.

MEDICAL REPORT: Hyun-Jin Ryu, who is sidelined by shoulder inflammation, hasn’t started throwing but is expected to do so in the next couple of days. Under that timetable, it’s unlikely Ryu will be ready to return from the disabled list Tuesday, the day he is eligible to be activated.

ON THE FARM: Alex Guerrero drove in six runs in triple-A Albuquerque’s 12-7 victory over Sacramento. Guerrero, who was four for five, is now batting .355 with four home runs and 18 runs batted in.

UP NEXT: Paul Maholm (1-2, 4.70) will face the Giants and Madison Bumgarner (3-3, 3.18) at 7 p.m. at Dodger Stadium. On the air: TV: SportsNet LA; Radio: 570, 1020 (Spanish).
