Article: TOMKO THWARTS DODGERS' STREAK SHUTOUT ENDS CHANCE FOR SERIES SWEEP SAN DIEGO 5, DODGERS 0.(Sports)

Byline: Jill Painter Staff Writer

There was no brilliant pitching gem this time. Not from the Dodgers, anyway.

The Dodgers came into Sunday's game riding a four-game winning streak on the muscle of unflappable closer Eric Gagne and a starting rotation without Kevin Brown.

But it was San Diego's Brett Tomko who threw the dominant game at Dodger Stadium. Tomko struck out a career-high 13 as the Padres avoided a series sweep with a 5-0 victory over the Dodgers in front of 48,469.

It was the fourth shutout against the Dodgers this season.
