Los Angeles (21-8) beat Washington 10-3 on Wednesday for its 13th straight home win to open a season and surpass the 12-0 record of the 1911 Detroit Tigers.

The Dodgers own the best record in the majors to match their best start since the 1977 club opened 23-6 and won the NL pennant. The 1983 Dodgers also started 21-8.

Despite the team's hot start, Torre hopes his club can look past the winning streaks and records, especially since the teams they've played are a combined 66-94 and none are over. 500.

"Streaks are fine, but we have more important things in mind," Torre said. "Hopefully, it's just a stepping stone on the way to something more important. The fact that we're playing well takes precedence over anything else."

The Dodgers will try for an 11th consecutive home victory over Washington (7-18), which hasn't won at Dodger Stadium since a 5-2 win on May 4, 2005.

"The only thing you're uneasy about is a team coming in and everybody assuming it's a pushover because they haven't got a very good record," Torre said.

Rafael Furcal and Russell Martin each had three hits, while Orlando Hudson, Manny Ramirez and James Loney had two RBIs apiece for Los Angeles, which has outscored its opponents 38-15 in its last seven games.

Ramirez is batting .348 on the season and .350 (14 for 40) with eight RBIs in 10 games against the Nationals franchise. Hudson, meanwhile, is hitting .387 (12 for 31) with eight RBIs during an eight-game hitting streak.

Randy Wolf (1-1, 3.93 ERA), who hasn't factored in his last four decisions, takes the mound for Los Angeles on Thursday.

He allowed two hits - including a home run - in 5 1-3 innings of a 2-1, 10-inning victory over San Diego on Saturday.

"He's a pro," Torre told the Dodgers' official Web site. "I can trust him and I think that's the highest praise I can pay him."

The left-hander is 9-4 with a 4.58 ERA in 19 starts versus the Nationals franchise.

Washington's Ryan Zimmerman is 2 for 6 against Wolf and singled Wednesday to extend his franchise-record hitting streak to 24 games. He's batting .353 during that span.

Washington rookie Jordan Zimmermann (2-1, 4.24) looks to bounce back from his first loss when he makes his fourth career start.

The right-hander allowed five runs and eight hits - including three home runs - while striking out six in 5 2-3 innings of a 6-2 loss to St. Louis on Friday.

"Up here, they don't miss hardly as much as they do (in the minors)," said Zimmermann, who had yielded one homer over 11 1-3 innings in his first two starts. "You can't make those mistakes up here."
