 --C Russell Martin stole his 59th career base on Saturday to tie Johnny Roseboro for most stolen bases in franchise history. The milestone bag came against the Padres on the back-end of a hit-and-run as Jim Thome struck out. Martin has 10 steals this season, well off the pace of the career-high 21 bases he swiped in 2007. He had 18 steals last year. --LHP Randy Wolf won his 100th career game Saturday against the Padres, a mark that looked like it might never come with his 14 no-decisions this year. Wolf is 10-6 this season, but the Dodgers are actually 19-11 in his 30 starts. RHP Jeff Weaver, who is 6-4, is sitting on 99 victories. BY THE NUMBERS: 26 -- Consecutive games the Dodgers' pitching staff has allowed five runs or less, through Sept. 6. Dodgers pitchers have a combined 2.66 ERA (70 ER/237 IP) over that stretch, the best mark in the major leagues. The last time the Dodgers gave up more than five runs was Aug. 9 in an 8-2 defeat to the Atlanta Braves. QUOTE TO NOTE: "I absolutely hate that term because I think it's overused and it floats. There is no such thing as a floating ace. If a guy is like a Roy Halladay, Johan Santana, those guys are aces. There is no such thing as an ace in April, an ace in May and a different ace in June. That doesn't exist." -- LHP Randy Wolf, when asked if he felt comfortable being considered the Dodgers' staff ace. Sign up for breaking news alerts from FOXSports.com!
