o. Rod Barajas grew up a Dodgers fan in Southern California, so just putting on an L.A. uniform for the first time at age 35 had to feel good for the veteran catcher. It only got better when the game started Tuesday, as Barajas went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a homer in his Dodgers debut after arriving via waivers from the Mets.
"It's been exciting," Barajas told reporters. "The fact that I came to the Dodgers was the real exciting part. If it was any other team, then I probably wouldn't be as excited. But being an L.A. boy and growing up cheering for these guys, I was nervous coming in here meeting new guys and performing with all my family and friends watching.
"They've said all along, we'd love to have you over here. I was afraid that if I didn't do well, I'd get some bad text messages. It's been a little hectic, but it's been great."
o. The Padres have "genuine interest" in outfielder Brad Hawpe, who should officially be a free agent any time now, according to Troy Renck fo the Denver Post.
o. The Cubs scored two runs in the fifth inning Tuesday against the Nationals -- their first runs in the fifth inning of any game since July 31.
