Adrian OK after exiting game with dizziness

LOS ANGELES -- First baseman Adrian Gonzalez felt dizzy during the top of the eighth inning on Sunday night and was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the frame.

"It was a good situation to not try to push it," Gonzalez said after the Dodgers won, 8-2. "The doctors checked me out, and everything is fine."

Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBIs before being removed. During the three-game sweep of the Rays, he had two doubles, one home run and five RBIs. He leads the team with 16 homers and 74 RBIs.

"He got a little lightheaded," said manager Don Mattingly. "Hopefully, it's nothing. I don't think it's anything at all."

Jerry Hairston Jr. pinch-hit for Gonzalez and played first in the ninth.
