LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles confronts the National Leagues most potent offense without the major leagues best pitcher Friday night when the Dodgers begin a three-game series at home against the Colorado Rockies.Left-hander Clayton Kershaw, scheduled to start Friday, instead went on the disabled list with a herniated disk. Kershaw, who lost his last start Sunday in Pittsburgh, complained of back stiffness after the game. The Dodgers on Wednesday flew him back to Los Angeles, where he received an epidural Thursday after consulting with a back specialist.Kershaw was making a serious case for his fourth Cy Young Award in six years. Kershaw led the majors with a 1.79 ERA, ranked second with 145 strikeouts, allowed opponents to bat .185 against him and conceded only six home runs and nine walks in 121 innings.To lose Clayton for any length of time is a big blow, but I think our guys have made a point that were going to move forward and were going to go out there and keep winning baseball games, manager Dave Roberts said. We did that (Thursday, an 8-1 victory in Milwaukee) and thats our goal tomorrow.The Dodgers filled Kershaws spot in the rotation by acquiring right-hander Bud Norris from the Atlanta Braves for two minor leaguers in a five-player trade Thursday. He will start Friday night. Norris is 3-7 with a 4.22 ERA this season but in his past 29 1/3 innings, the eight-year veteran amassed 29 strikeouts while conceding only seven runs and eight walks.Obviously, where were at with starting pitching and Buds been pitching well -- I had him in San Diego for a bit -- hes really thrown well, Roberts said. For them to give us a guy that can go deep into a game, can eat innings and get guys out, was huge. Were excited about it.Said Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal: Obviously, it takes a toll when you lose your No. 1 guy, especially a guy like Kershaw whos a presence not only in the clubhouse, but out on the field I felt like Bud Norris did a pretty good job against us this year when he pitched against us.I feel like he can be another addition, not only as a starter, but maybe once we get all the guys back, he can help us out in the pen, too. I feel like hes going to fit really good in this staff and on this team. But, its always hard to lose your No. 1 guy.Kershaw or no Kershaw, Los Angeles must defuse the Rockies volatile offense. Colorado leads the National League with a .276 team batting average, a .469 on-base percentage, 418 runs and 402 RBI. The Rockies also hold third in the NL with 104 home runs.Those exploits helped move Colorado within four games of the New York Mets, who hold the second wild-card spot, and within 5 1/2 of the second-place Dodgers in the National League West.Right fielder Carlos Gonzalez, who leads the Rockies with a .329 average, views the six-game road trip starting Friday night as pivotal in narrowing the distance between themselves and both the Dodgers and the first-place San Francisco Giants.This road trip is going to be huge for us, Gonzalez said. Were going to play the two teams ahead of us. Weve got to gain ground, and we all understand that were going to be facing some tough pitchers. Weve just got to continue to put some runs on the board, and expect better outings from the pitchers to give us an opportunity to win.Gonzalez ranks fourth in the National League in batting average, with second baseman DJ LeMahieu three points behind him in fifth place, and third with 98 hits. Third baseman Nolan Arenado has driven in a league-leading 65 runs while hitting 21 home runs.Rookie shortstop Trevor Story provides stability after the Rockies traded All-Star Troy Tulowitzki to Toronto last year. Storys 19 homers and 50 RBI lead all major league rookies.Story and LeMahieu missed two of the past three games because of a bruised right finger and a bruised left knee, respectively. After Thursdays off day, both are expected to be in the Rockies lineup Friday night.The Dodgers also have serious injury problems outside of Kershaw, whose absence further depletes a staff that has five other starting pitchers on the disabled list. An inflamed left rib cage put utilityman Enrique Hernandez on the disabled list Thursday. Outfielder Joc Pederson, an All-Star last year, could join them after injuring the AC joint in his right shoulder by crashing into the outfield wall at Milwaukees Miller Park on Tuesday. Pedersons 13 home runs rank second on the club. Zapatillas Baratas Outlet España . Clarkson had been dealing with an elbow injury in early January and will be out of action for at least one week.

Gloucestershire 347 for 8 (Marshall 101, Payne 58*, Hogan 3-31) lead Glamorgan 220 (Selman 101, Miles 4-44, Taylor 4-56) by 127 runsScorecard Hamish Marshalls fourth championship century of the season - his 22nd for his county- and an unbeaten 58 from David Payne enabled Gloucestershire to gain a lead of 127, with two wickets remaining, by the close of the second day in Cardiff.With Payne and Josh Shaw having already shared an unbroken partnership of 56 for the ninth wicket, Glamorgan have much to do if they are to avoid losing their seventh championship game of a disappointing season.Marshall returns to New Zealand at the end of the season after spending 11 years in the West Country and, although he did give a difficult chance to wicketkeeper Mark Wallace on 40, he rescued Gloucestershire after they had earlier slumped to 38 for 3. He also found a staunch ally in George Hankins, the 19-year-old England U-19 batsman who stayed with Marshall for 47 overs to share a partnership of 120 for the fourth wicket.Resuming at their overnight score of 62 for 3, Marshall and Hankins batted throughout the morning session, and were not separated until 20 minutes after lunch when Hankins feathered a catch to the wicketkeeper off Graham Wagg. Hankins was at the crease for three-and-a-quarter hours for 43, and struck only five boundaries, but he was the perfect foil for Marshall, and with more experiience at county level he will only prosper.ddddddddddddDespite adding 56 with Marshall for the fifth wicket, Phil Mustard was never at ease, and when Michael Hogan took the new ball, Mustard soon edged to slip. Marshalls innings ended in Hogans next over, when he was adjudged lbw, and was either unhappy with the decision or disappointed with himself as he took some time to drag himself away from the crease.Craig Miles and David Payne then strengthened their teams position with a stand of 60 for the eighth wicket, although Wallace missed a stumping off Kieran Carlson with Payne on 20. Shortly afterwards Carlson was rewarded when Miles, who made 34, chipped a low catch to Wagg at short midwicket, but Payne further frustrated Glamorgan by reaching fifty shortly before the close.Although Payne and Josh Shaw scored slowly, their approach were certainly justified with the game only at the half way stage.Marshall, who scored his second century in three games, said: Its always nice to get into a run of form, especially on a good pitch, but the game has a long way to go and we would ideally like to get a big lead and put Glamorgan under some scoreboard pressure.He also praised George Hankins, saying: He has a big future, is never overawed and just gets on with it.
