Dodgers take out

frustration on M’sIt's hard to tell who had a more miserable first half: the Los Angeles Dodgers or the Seattle Mariners.
On a day when Trenidad Hubbard's career-high five RBIs should have been the big story, a 15-minute brawl that led to seven ejections overshadowed the Dodgers' 14-3 rout of the visiting Mariners yesterday.
"That whole thing was just frustration talking -- their side, our side, it just bubbled over," Hubbard said.
After Hubbard's three-run double off Frankie Rodriguez gave the Dodgers a 12-3 lead in the sixth, Rodriguez triggered the brawl with a brushback pitch at Mark Grudzielanek.
"The pitch was pretty high; it upset me a little bit, and we had some words with each other," Grudzielanek said. "It surprised me when he motioned at me to come out there, then he just started saying some pretty vulgar things."
Hawaii's Onan Masaoka earned his first major-league save with four shutout innings of relief.
Los Angeles, with the second-highest opening-day payroll behind the Yankees, enters the All-Star break 39-47, last in the NL West and 10 games behind division leader San Francisco. The Mariners' five-game losing streak has dropped them to 42-45, six games behind AL West-leading Texas.
