Shawn Green's disputed home run Tuesday, No. 12 on the season, moved him five ahead of Jeromy Burnitz for home runs as a Dodger this season.

Rickey Henderson has fallen to 99th on the all-time home run list with 297 (Tino Martinez passed him last night), and won't stick in the top 100 for long. Edgar Martinez and Carlos Delgado, each with 295 homers, will probably pass Rickey by season's end. ... Of major-leaguers 24 and under, Adrian Beltre ranks seventh in home runs. ... Two years ago, Paul Lo Duca nearly had more home runs (25) than strikeouts (30). Last year, he slipped to 10 and 31. This season, Lo Duca is at 7 and 46. ... Daryle Ward finally homered, for Las Vegas. He now has one home run in 191 professional at-bats this season. ... More than a year has passed since the last regular-season home run allowed by Eric Gagne, on August 13, 2002. Correction: Gagne allowed a home run to Colorado on May 29 this year. ... Only 29 home runs (out of 98) hit against the Dodgers this season have been with men on base. That's 1.4 per week. ...
