LOS ANGELES -- It may be encouraging that Josh Beckett was back on the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night, but make no mistake: It was not the kind of outing he or his team wanted.Beckett, making his first start since having surgery to remove a rib last year, was as sharp as a plastic spoon against the Detroit Tigers. He didn't miss many bats, and that lack of deception led to several whistling liners and one-hop ground balls.
