Overall, the 35-year-old Park has maintained an immaculate ERA while allowing only two hits and two walks over seven innings in three spring appearances.

"Chan Ho Park was great," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said of Monday's game. Park is currently competing with teammate Esteban Loaiza for the Dodgers' no. 5 starter job.

"I feel as if the distance between the pitcher's mound and the catcher's box isn't as far as it was before, since I've developed a better pitching form," Park said. "My goal is to be on the list of starters in the opening game of the season."

Park flies to China on Thursday, where he will start in a friendly game against the San Diego Padres this weekend.
