Treanor, the Dodgers' backup catcher, was credited with a rare unassisted double play in the second. Tyler Flowers leaned over the plate after taking a called third strike, impeding Treanor's throw to second with Danks running on the pitch, and was called for batter interference by Darling.
Viciedo, batting cleanup with Paul Konerko getting the day off, was robbed of a hit in the fourth when Andre Ethier made a diving grab in short right-center. Two innings later, the Gold Glove winner made a sliding catch of Alex Rios' Texas Leaguer to end the sixth.
Ethier stole the show in the eighth, robbing Lillibridge of extra bases with a leaping grab of his hard-hit ball at the top of the fence. Ethier hasn't committed an error since July 9, 2010.
NOTES: A ceremonial first pitch was thrown by U.S. Marine Corps Corporal Christopher Farias, who was thrown for a loop when he realized the catcher was his father, Lawrence -- dressed in a Dodgers uniform and mask when he sprung the surprise. ... Dunn, who leads the majors with 23 home runs, also has struck out a major league-leading 104 times. ... The Dodgers' quirky schedule includes a nine-game California road trip that begins Tuesday night in Oakland, then swings down to Anaheim for a three-game series with the Angels and ends back in the Bay Area against San Francisco. ... White Sox RHP Zach Stewart, who has a 5.19 ERA in 17 relief appearances, will make his first start of the season Monday night against Cubs RHP Matt Garza at U.S. Cellular Field.
