Dodgers Lose, Drop First Freeway Series

Erick Aybar led off the ninth inning with his first home run of the season, Alberto Callaspo also went deep and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Dodgers 2-1 Wednesday night in the rubber game of the season's first Freeway Series.

Aybar jumped on a 1-1 pitch from closer Kenley Jansen (4-2) and deposited it into the pavilion seats in right-center. LaTroy Hawkins (1-1) earned his first victory with the Angels after pitching a hitless eighth in relief of C.J. Wilson.

Ernesto Frieri got three outs for his sixth save in six chances, retiring pinch-hitter and former Angel Bobby Abreu on a comebacker with two runners in scoring position.
