Zack Greinke will start in his place tonight against the Angels.

(Take note of that Arte.) With the freeway series coming up, I am going to provide you some ammunition to use for when the Dodger faithful start to squawk.

Kendrick beat his former team with the bat on Friday and with glove on Saturday.

Ventura allowed six hits and five runs in seven innings and posted his second straight victory to allow the Royals to snap a three-game losing streak.

Greinke’s streak of 45 2-3 consecutive scoreless innings ended Sunday against the Mets.

Greinke, who spent the final two months of the 2012 season down the freeway in Anaheim before joining the Dodgers as a free agent, improved his home record with them to 23-5.

Kershaw, who insisted to reporters he will pitch Saturday, is 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA in three home starts against the Angels.

“We knew he was feeling good, but we wanted to make sure he got the extra day, keep Zack on turn, and he’ll go tomorrow”, manager Don Mattingly said.

Kenley Jansen got his 18th save in 19 chances despite giving up Mike Trout’s major league-leading 32nd homer leading off the ninth. “It looked like he was searching not only trying to find his release point, to execute pitches and repeat his delivery, which he has been doing very well this year, (but) searching to put together his game plan”.

Trout’s RBI triple brought home Calhoun, who reached on a single, to tie the score at 1-1 in the fourth.

Kendrick, the Dodgers’ No. 2 hitter, drove Santiago’s sixth pitch of the game into the pavilion seats in left-center for his eighth homer.

Angels: An MRI taken on LHP C.J. Wilson’s elbow showed that he has an impingement and is contemplating surgery to remove bone spurs, which would end his season. The move is retroactive to July 29, the day after he surrendered six runs and two homers over four innings in a 10-5 loss at Houston.

-The Dodgers placed infielder Justin Turner on the 15-day DL with an infection in his leg.
