LOS ANGELES, March 31 (UPI) -- Brad Penny threw 6 2/3 shutout innings Monday in a 5-0 win over San Francisco in Joe Torre's debut as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Penny (1-0) gave up four hits and two walks. Rafael Furcal went 3-for-4 with a double, and Jeff Kent had two hits, including a two-run homer for Los Angeles.
Torre took over the West Coast National League team after 12 years with the New York Yankees in which the 67-year-old guided the Bronx Bombers to four World Series championships, six American League pennants and 10 AL East titles.
Barry Zito (0-1) allowed four runs on eight hits in five innings for the Giants. Aaron Rowand, who signed a five-year contract with the Giants this past winter, went 2-for-3.
The Giants started a season without Barry Bonds for the first time since 1992. The team cut baseball's all-time home run king and seven-time NL MVP during the winter.
