Randy Wolf finally gets a win

The question now is if Wolf can end another streak: that of never having pitched in a playoff game.

"I'm on the team that could get me to my first playoffs," he said. "I'll take that over having a whole bunch of wins."

While the new uniform improved Wolf's fortunes, a new spot in the batting order didn't do anything to improve Orlando Hudson's.

If anything, it made Hudson's luck worse.

Dropped from second to seventh, the slumping second baseman hit a three-run double in the first inning off Mets starter Livan Hernandez but had to make an early exit upon being drilled in his left knee by reliever Brian Stokes in the seventh inning.

"It hurt," Hudson said. "Oh yeah, it hurt. He doesn't throw soft either."

However, Hudson said the pitch didn't hit bone.

"I'm good, bro," he said. "I'll be back out there tomorrow."

Hudson entered the game in a two-for-30 slump. He said that his double, which put the Dodgers ahead, 4-0, didn't change his opinion about his form.

"I'm still terrible," said Hudson, who was caught in a rundown between second and third on the play.
