The good news is that old friend Matt Herges won his first National League game of the season. The bad new is that Matty hasn't played for the Dodgers since 2001 and now gets his mail in care of the Colorado Rockies. The Dodgers traded him to Montreal for Guillermo Mota, who watched from the L.A. bullpen as the Rockies scored in the last of the ninth to win 5-4.
