LOS ANGELES -- Zack Greinke pitched 5 1-3 strong innings in his first start since April 11 and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Washington Nationals 3-1 on Wednesday night. Greinke came off the disabled list earlier in the day, returning three weeks sooner than expected from a broken left clavicle after a confrontation with San Diegos Carlos Quentin last month. The right-hander was expected to be out eight weeks. He underwent surgery on April 13 to fix the injury with a metal plate used to stabilize the break. Greinke (2-0) made one rehab appearance last Friday for Class A Rancho Cucamonga, and the Dodgers decided he was ready to rejoin them. He proved them right, allowing one run and five hits, striking out four and walking none. Los Angeles went 10-19 since his injury. Greinke helped himself with a RBI single with two outs in the second that extended the Dodgers lead to 2-0. Brandon League pitched the ninth to earn his ninth save in 10 chances, helping the Dodgers close out the series 2-1 and giving them consecutive series victories for just the third time this season. They are 19-4 against the Nationals at home since the start of the 2006 season. Los Angeles held Washington to one run in the Nationals last 22 innings of the series. Ross Detwiler (2-4) gave up two runs and six hits in three innings -- his shortest outing of the season. The left-hander walked two and struck out none. The Nationals fell to 3-5 when he starts. Detwiler is 0-6 in six career road starts against NL West opponents. Nationals star Bryce Harper returned as a pinch-hitter in the ninth for the first time since cutting his chin and hurting his shoulder in a collision with the outfield wall on Monday. He grounded out to first base. The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in the first on Adrian Gonzalezs RBI single up the middle with two outs. Matt Kemp scored after extending his hitting streak to 14 games with a ground-rule double. Andre Ethier led off the second with a single. Scott Van Slyke walked and then Juan Uribe hit into a double play. Greinke followed with a single to right field, his second hit of the season. The Dodgers made it 3-1 in the eighth on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Carl Crawford. Washington trailed 2-1 in the fourth on Adam LaRoches homer that extended his 12-game hitting streak. The Nats had the tying run at third base in the eighth. Steve Lombardozzi singled off Kenley Jansen to open the inning before being replaced by pinch-runner Eury Perez. He took third on Ryan Zimmermans single that dropped in shallow right field. Jansen then retired three consecutive batters to end the inning. Notes: Nationals C Wilson Ramos left the game after he singled in the fourth. ... Detwiler walked Scott Van Slyke in the second, snapping a streak of 20.0 consecutive innings without a walk issued by the Nationals staff. ...

FLINT, Mich. -- A judge on Monday dismissed all charges against former Michigan State basketball star Mateen Cleaves, who was accused of sexually assaulting a woman after a charity golf event and a visit to a bar in 2015.Judge Cathy Dowd in Flint, Michigan, heard days of testimony, including details from the woman, who said she twice tried to get away from Cleaves but was pulled back into a motel room and sexually assaulted.A witness confirmed that she saw the woman try to escape a room at the Knights Inn near Flint. But a police officer summoned to the motel said the woman never indicated that she was assaulted.Cleaves, 39, was charged with unlawful imprisonment, assault with intent to commit sexual penetration, second-degree criminal sexual conduct and third-degree criminal sexual conduct. He pleaded not guilty.The Associated Press generally doesnt name people who say they were sexually assaulted. The woman testified that she never said no to Cleaves but I told him I wanted to go home. They met at a golf event that day, and she later sent him a text message to join her and others at a bar.In dismissing the charges, the judge said there were credibility prooblems with the womans testimony.ddddddddddddIm supposed to believe hes pulling her back in the room to commit criminal sexual conduct, Dowd said. There are a number of factors that lead me to believe something else could be going on. She is the one that invited Mr. Cleaves to come to the bar. She is the one that voluntarily left with Mr. Cleaves to go someplace else.The legal standard to send someone to trial in Michigan is probable cause. Its a much lower threshold than beyond a reasonable doubt, which determines guilt or innocence at trial. Prosecutors said theyll appeal Dowds decision.Defense attorney Frank Manley said it was a case of regret, not rape.But prosecutor Lisa Lindsey said if the woman didnt want to be at the motel with Cleaves, then why did she run out of the room desperately trying to get away from the defendant?Cleaves led Michigan State to the NCAA basketball championship in 2000 and remains close to the program. Mateen is the middle name of coach Tom Izzos son.Cleaves appeared in 167 games for four NBA teams. ' ' '
