The Los Angeles Dodgers have recovered from their slow start to win 10 of their last 11, and another victory Friday night may move them into a tie for first place. The Detroit Tigers are already there. Back-to-back wins to begin their road trip have given the Tigers a share of the AL Central lead, and they’ll hope Dontrelle Willis can calm his control problems in the series opener at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers spotted some of their rivals an early lead in the NL West, the division Los Angeles has won each of the last two years. But some brilliant pitching has brought manager Joe Torre’s club quickly back into the race. After allowing three or fewer runs in each victory during the nine-game winning streak that was snapped by San Diego on Wednesday, the Dodgers pulled back within a game of the first-place Padres by beating them 4-1 on Thursday. Friday’s starter Chad Billingsley earned two wins during the streak, and the right-hander is coming off his best outing of 2010 after holding San Diego to four hits in 7 1-3 innings of a 1-0 win Sunday.

Billingsley has never faced the Tigers, and his counterpart may wish he had less experience against the Dodgers. Willis went 1-5 with a 6.93 ERA in seven starts against Los Angeles while a member of the Florida Marlins. Willis has battled major issues with wildness since joining Detroit. He hoped to have those problems under control after walking three or fewer in each of his first five starts, but he walked seven and allowed four runs in 3 1-3 innings Saturday night against Boston. The Tigers still won that game 7-6 in 12 innings, and the team has won four of five to tie Minnesota for the division lead. Detroit began a seven-game West Coast swing with consecutive victories in Oakland. Miguel Cabrera broke out of an 0-for-12 slump with a two-run home run in the fifth inning of Thursday’s 5-2 win, pulling him into a tie with injured Los Angeles outfielder Andre Ethier for the major league lead with 38 RBIs.
