PHOENIX (AP) - Barry Zito knows the next time he faces the Los
Angeles Dodgers, he's likely to see Manny Ramirez in the middle of
their lineup.
He's ready for the challenge.
On the day Ramirez re-signed with the rival Dodgers, Zito threw
45 pitches Wednesday in nearly three innings of San Francisco's
10-8 victory over Los Angeles at Camelback Ranch.
The left-hander allowed three runs, including a wind-aided, two-run homer by Andre Ethier, who was hitting in the No. 3 spot Ramirez normally occupies.
