LOS ANGELES -- Six years after representing the Colorado Rockies in the All-Star Futures game, left-hander Christian Friedrich continues his campaign to rebuild his career when his San Diego Padres face the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday at Dodger Stadium.
Friedrich's opponent, right-hander Kenta Maeda, seeks to resurrect his own season after a brilliant April following a stellar career in Japan.
Friedrich -- who turned 29 on Friday -- threw only three pitches and retired the only batter he faced for the United States in a 9-1 victory over the World at Angel Stadium.
