Couple more notes on this one:

Andy LaRoche, who entered the spring competing with Nomar Garciaparra for the starting job, needed to be scratched from the Las Vegas lineup after being informed of being optioned and did not play.

Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda was released from an Inglewood hospital after suffering from a minor infection that caused him to cut short a trip to the Dominican Republic earlier this week, according to a team spokesman.

Jonathan Broxton returned to action and retired the four batters he faced.
