LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- The Los Angeles Dodgers look to avoid a second consecutive Interleague sweep on Sunday when they host the Cleveland Indians.

Dodgers manager Joe Torre, who won four World Series titles in 12 seasons with the New York Yankees, probably has seen enough of the Indians. Cleveland ended Torre's tenure in the Bronx with a four-game victory over the Yankees in the American League Division Series last year.

Despite Torre's move across the country, little has changed. The Indians have collected a pair of 11-inning wins against a Dodgers team that has dropped six straight Interleague games.

Los Angeles hopes to end the slide behind righthander Chad Billingsley (5-7, 3.54 ERA), an Ohio native who is coming off an impressive outing.

Selected by Los Angeles in the first round out of Defiance High School in 2003, Billingsley yielded just one run and five hits in 6 1/3 innings in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Cincinnati.

Cleveland counters with Paul Byrd (3-7, 5.21), who would like to forget his last outing. The righthander surrendered five runs and nine hits over four innings in Tuesday's 10-2 setback to Colorado.
