Dan Haren didn't start the way he finished, but that turned out to be a good thing for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Haren tossed a three-hitter, leading the Dodgers to a 6-2 victory Friday night over the New York Mets before 44,374 at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers (73-57), who remain 3 1/2 games ahead of the San Francisco Giants in the National League West, have owned the Mets recently, winning 12 of their last 14 games against them. New York (60-69) dropped four of its past five contests.
