LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers got a good start from one of the pitchers at the struggling back of their rotation and beat the New York Mets 6-2 Friday night to keep their lead over the San Francisco Giants at 3½ games. How it happened: The jokes at Dan Haren's expense were flying fast and furious on Twitter after Curtis Granderson homered on the third pitch of the game. The home run was the 25th Haren has given up this season and it seemed as if Haren would have another rough first inning.
