Houlton -0-0, 7.41 ERA -First major league start *Houlton makes first major league start against Brewers* -------------------------------------------------------- Milwaukee (26-2http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/glasses.gif at La Dodgers (27-27), 10:10 pm EDT LOS ANGELES (Ticker) - In the midst of a miserable slump at home, the Los Angeles Dodgers turn to rookie D.J. Houlton on Saturday in the third of four games with the Milwaukee Brewers. Houlton (0-0, 7.41 ERA) has made 13 appearances out of the bullpen but will start for the first time in place of Wilson Alvarez, who was scratched due to shoulder tendinitis. A 6-4 righthander, Houlton has a 1.29 ERA in five games at home while posting an 11.70 mark in eight road outings. The Dodgers may need Houlton to provide some quality innings if their offense continues to struggle. In losing 10 of its last 13 at home, Los Angeles has scored more than five runs just three times. Victor Santos (2-4, 2.73) gets the nod for the Brewers, who posted a 7-5 win over the Dodgers on Friday. Santos tossed six scoreless innings in Milwaukee's 2-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Monday. He has yet to pitch in Dodger Stadium but is 0-2 with a 15.88 ERA in two lifetime starts against Los Angeles. Carlos Lee slugged his ninth career grand slam and Bill Hall added a three-run shot in Friday's win as the Brewers improved to 2-3 on their current seven-game road trip.
