"Everything was good," said Frias, given a chance for a rotation spot after injuries to Brett Anderson, Mike Bolsinger and Brandon Beachy. "I was able to attack the strike zone and be ahead in the count."
The Dodgers scored three runs off Blackburn in two-thirds of an inning, compounded by catcher Buster Posey's throwing error.
Adrian Gonzalez slugged a two-run homer off Tyler Mizenko in a three-run second inning, and the Dodgers added two more runs off Adalberto Mejia in the third, one scoring on Frias' RBI single. In the fifth inning, the Dodgers added three more runs off Mejia.
