Some figured Manny Ramirez would heat up when the weather did. He did, hitting home runs in his first two at-bats Saturday at Dodger Stadium.

Both were solo shots. He hadn’t hit a home run this season before Saturday.
Andre Ethier added a three-run home run to give the Dodgers a 5-0 lead over Colorado in the fifth inning.
In the sixth, Chad Billingsley was beginning to appear shaky, giving up a walk to lead off the inning. He then gave up two runs when a well-hit ball sailed past a stumbling -- who else? -- Manny Ramirez.
