OKLAHOMA CITY — Jose De Leon knew little to no English. He was a little pudgy — baby fat as some called it — and he was in a new world.

A freshman in his first semester at Southern University in 2010, De Leon was wide-eyed and struggling. Baton Rouge was different from Isabela, Puerto Rico, and he missed his family.

“I was lost,” De Leon said.

Dodgers cruise to win, deal blow to Yanks

NEW YORK -- Jose De Leon fired five solid innings in his second Major League start andChase Utley's deep drive found outfield grass for a key two-run error in the second inning as the Dodgers defeated the Yankees, 8-2, on Monday night at Yankee Stadium.

De Leon picked up his second win in as many outings as he limited the Yankees to two runs and three hits, helping Los Angeles to its seventh victory in nine games. The Dodgers chased Bryan Mitchell early from his second start of the season, pelting the right-hander for six runs (two earned) and eight hits in 2 1/3 inning
