Dodgers rookie Kuroda dominates Marlins
JUPITER, FLA. -- Hiroki Kuroda turned in his most dominant outing of the spring today, holding the Florida Marlins to a run on three hits over five innings in what may prove to be the Dodgers' final Grapefruit League game ever.
Mark Sweeney provided all the Dodgers' offense in the 2-1 win with a two-run opposite-field homer in the seventh. But with a swirling 20-mph wind knocking down anything hit in the air, the game belonged to the pitchers - especially Kuroda, the 33-year-old Japanese rookie, who retired 11 in a row after allowing a run on back-to-back hits by Dan Uggla and Luis Gonzalez in the first inning.
Kuroda had surrendered nine runs and 11 hits in his previous five spring training innings.

Full story.
This is great news, especially considering the tumult with the fifth slot in the rotation.
