SAN DIEGO -- After floundering in Boston in 2011 and playing only 31 games last year due to injuries, Carl Crawford is off to the fast start he knew he needed to have with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Crawford led off with an opposite-field homer and A.J. Ellis added a two-run shot to back Chad Billingsleys strong season debut and lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-3 victory against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night. Crawford homered to left field on the second pitch from Eric Stults (1-1). He tripled off the left-field wall with one out in the fifth and scored on Mark Ellis single through a drawn-in infield to make it 4-1. "I just want to play baseball," said Crawford, who came over from the Red Sox along with Adrian Gonzalez and Josh Beckett on Aug. 25. "Thats all I want to do, man. Im not trying to prove nothing to me, you, Boston, whoever. I just want to play good baseball this year." Crawford had reconstructive elbow surgery two days before the trade and didnt get to play for the Dodgers last year. Hes hitting .464 (13 of 28). This was Crawfords fourth consecutive game with multiple hits and his sixth in seven starts this season. "You never know how its going to go. You hope for the best," he said. "The last two years the way things were going for me its kind of a surprise, but a good surprise. Its definitely fun. Even if I wouldnt have had a fast start like Im having now, everything is just good for me right now." Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said he certainly didnt expect Crawford to hit this well at the start of the season. "Ive seen how good Carl has been in the past and the last two years have been spotty as far as injuries and things like that, but I think we pretty much knew what he could do," Mattingly said. Billingsley (1-0) opened the season on the disabled list after bruising his right index finger during a bunting drill on March 15. He held San Diego to one run and five hits in six innings, with three strikeouts and three walks. "It definitely felt great to be back out there," said Billingsley, who went on the disabled list Aug. 25 last year with pain in his right elbow. "C.C., the first at-bat of the game, he gets us a one-run lead and gave me a little cushion early." Billingsley "was sharp with his fastball," San Diegos Yonder Alonso said. "He was controlling the strike zone early in the game. He was throwing to both sides and did a good job of keeping the ball down." A.J. Ellis homered to left with one out in the second. Luis Cruz was aboard on a single. Brandon League earned his third save in as many chances, but only after allowing two runs on three hits in the ninth. The second run that inning scored when Chris Denorfia struck out but reached on a passed ball by A.J. Ellis. The Padres have given up 13 homers in eight games. "Eric hung in there but they didnt miss with a couple of mistakes," Padres manager Bud Black said. San Diegos Nick Hundley had four hits to tie his career high. Stults allowed four runs and eight hits in five innings, struck out four and walked none. Every Dodgers regular except Adrian Gonzalez had at least one hit off Stults. Billingsleys only rough inning was the fourth. Will Venable drew a leadoff walk and scored on an RBI double by Denorfia. Yonder Alonso walked but was erased on a double play and Alexi Amarista flied out to end the inning. Denorfia started in place of left fielder Carlos Quentin, who was hit by a pitch on the right forearm in San Diegos 9-3 win Tuesday. NOTES: Black said Quentin was still a little sore Wednesday. ... After sitting out the last two games, Cruz singled in the second to snap an 0-for-17 slump to start the season. ... Andre Ethier has a hit in his first seven games this season to extend his hitting streak to 10 games. ... Padres 3B Chase Headley took batting practice for the first time since breaking his left thumb in a spring game on March 17. He said he felt no pain. Headley will likely go on a rehab assignment in the minors before being activated. ... The series concludes Thursday night when Dodgers RHP Zack Greinke (1-0, 0.00 ERA) faces RHP Jason Marquis (0-1, 3.00). ... Black had Mark Kotsay pinch-hit for 2B Alexi Amarista in the eighth. Kotsay remained in the game at 1B, forcing Black to move Alonso to 2B in the top of the ninth. After Gonzalez singled to right past the diving Alonso, he and 3B Jedd Gyorko swapped positions. They switched back after Ethier was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Frank Gore Jersey Elite . There was also a Chelsea player at the summit of the player rankings, with Fernando Torres sharing first place with Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery after a week that saw the Spain striker belatedly regain his goalscoring form to impress the 14 voters on the panel. Authentic Ahmad Brooks Jersey . The Rampage (35-23-2) opened the scoring at 5:44 into the second period with Watkins first goal of the night and 10th of the season. Ned Lukacevic sent the puck bouncing off the right boards where it landed in front of Watkins in the slot. http://www.authentic-49ers.com/Camo-Justin-Smith-Jersey.html . Kaletas reputation and past transgressions played a role in the punishment. "Its important to note that no matter who delivered this hit, it would have resulted in supplemental discipline," NHL vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan said in the video announcing the suspension. Ronnie Lott Jersey Limited . Top Picks: Over the last five seasons, D Shea Weber has scored 83 goals, leading all defencemen (Washingtons Mike Green is the only other one with more than 60), and Webers 1081 shots on goal lead all defencemen in that time, so the production comes naturally through the Predators dependence on their franchise player. Mario Manningham Jersey Elite . -- Despite a thrilling 3-2 shootout victory over the New York Rangers on Thursday night, the Ottawa Senators had little reason to celebrate.VANCOUVER -- World downhill champion Erik Guay and three-time World Cup winner Manuel Osborne-Paradis headline Canadas 23-member alpine ski team for the Sochi Olympic season. Seventeen men and six women that Alpine Canada believe have podium potential were named to the national squad Thursday. All-rounder Marie-Michele Gagnon and slalom specialist Erin Mielzynski -- the first Canadian since 1971 to win a World Cup slalom race -- lead a young group of female technical racers. Paul Kristofic, Alpine Canadas vice-president of sports, said the athletes selected were a mix of those who had the potential to do well at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, and a younger generation who are targeting 2018 and beyond. "We want to put our best foot forward at the Olympics. We recognize how important it is for our athletes and our organization," Kristofic said in a release. "Weve come up short at the past two Games with fourth and fifth places and no one is satisfied with that. Its very important that we win a medal." The mens roster includes six "Canadian Cowboys" who have won World Cup or world championship medals. Guay, from Mont-Tremblant, Que., had two fifth-place finishes at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and a fourth in 2006 in Turin, Italy, and goes into the season hoping to claim his first Olympic medal -- one of the few prizes missing from a resume that includes a Crystal Globe in super-G in 2010. He also needs just one World Cup podium to tie Steve Podborskis Canadian record of 20. If Guay claims two or more top-three World Cup finishes this season hell become Canadas most decorated male skier. "Steve has obviously been a huge inspiration and it would mean a lot to me to have that record and hopefully add to the legacy of ski racing in Canada," Guay said of Podborski, Canadas chef de mission for the 2014 Olympics. Guay said if he was "writing my own script" for Sochi, he would be gunning for gold. "But I know what it takes to win on any given day," he said. "Its one thing to be competitive throughout a season. Its another to be competitive in one race, where anybody in the top 15 could win..dddddddddddd One mistake and I could be fifth place. Another mistake and I could be 12th place. Theres nothing cut and dried in our sport -- far from it." Vancouvers Osborne-Paradis and Calgarys John Kucera, who both returned from injury last season, plus Jan Hudec of Calgary, have all won international medals. Ben Thomsen of Invermere, B.C., won silver at the Olympic test event in Sochi, while Mike Janyk of Whistler, B.C., is a world championship medallist who will lead Canadas slalom team. Calgarys Brad Spence and Whistlers Robbie Dixon are coming back from injuries. The mens team also features six up-and-coming skiers in Dustin Cook of Lac-Sainte-Marie, Que., Calgarys Trevor Philp and Erik Read, Phil Brown of Toronto, Sasha Zaitsoff of Queens Bay, B.C. and Whistler brothers Conrad and Morgan Pridy. Veterans Julien Cousineau of Lachute, Que., and Jeffrey Frisch, of Mont-Tremblant, who are battling back from injuries, have been given "invitee status" to train and compete as part of the Canadian team. The womens team includes World Cup regulars Gagnon, from Lac-Etchemin, Que., Mielzynski, from Guelph, Ont., Marie-Pier Prefontaine of Saint-Sauveur, Que., Mont-Tremblants Britt Phelan and Elli Terwiel, from Sun Peaks, B.C., as well as Toronto youngster Madison Irwin. Veteran speed skier Kelly VanderBeek retired last season, while super-G and downhill specialist Larisa Yurkiw was not selected. Canada only has one World Cup spot for womens downhill and that is likely to be used in several races by Gagnon, who is ranked fourth in the world in combined and is considered a serious medal threat in that discipline. Gagnonis also ranked in the top 30 in slalom and giant slalom and 32nd in super-G. The World Cup season kicks off in Solden, Austria, in October. It takes on added importance as racers will battle to qualify for Olympic nomination to the Canadian team. Canada has limited spots in each discipline, but general most skiers will be looking for two top-12 World Cup finishes or a top-five result. Some spots will be available for potential future medallists. The nominees are expected to be named in January 2014. Marshawn Lynch Jersey  Paul George Jersey ' ' '
