Update -- The Dodgers must play 11 of their first 14 games on the road, but they’ll catch a huge break this week -- they won’t have to face Randy Johnson or Curt Schilling in this series. Brown punctuated his comeback from major elbow and back surgeries with a sparkling 2003 debut, limiting Arizona to three hits in six shutout innings in Wednesday’s 5-0 victory.
