I guess its probably pretty cool to be the first one to do it. `Renfroe, the MVP of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League, has had an impressive debut since he was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Sept. 21, hitting four home runs and driving in 12 runs in seven games.Itll be hard for him to top the homer that landed atop the brick warehouse, a remnant from the skid row neighborhood that made way for Petco Park, which opened in 2004.You really dont feel anything. Its kind of a like a `spat and then it goes. It disappears real quick and you kind of know its a home a run, said Renfroe, who was the MVP of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League.Renfroe drove in all seven runs in Tuesday nights 7-1 win, on his first grand slam and a three-run homer. The three-run blast was a moonshot to left.Then came his roof shot.It was impressive, manager Andy Green said. I think we all know hes got a ton of raw power. I wasnt expecting that. But I guess maybe he did miss the one yesterday out to left. I guess he didnt hit it on the barrel, if thats what the barrel does. Its impressive power. Its a great start for him and Im sure hes pleased to get off on that right foot.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the home run came off pretty hot. This kid has power and is swinging the bat really well. You make a mistake and get it over, he is going to make you pay.De Leon said Renfroe is pretty powerful. You have to tip your hat to him. The pitch was in where we wanted and he just got the head out and it was a monster shot. There iss nothing you can do about that.ddddddddddddLos Angeles remains two games behind the Washington Nationals in the race for home-field advantage for their division series matchup, with four to play.The Dodgers lost despite hitting three home runs off rookie Luis Perdomo (9-10), who had three of four starts coming in.

I think its a really impressive season for a guy who came from A ball last year and spent most of the year in low A. Were really pleased. I know today he would have loved to have had a better last outing but he kept us in the game to get a win. That says something about his development.De Leon allowed five runs, three earned on four hits in 2 1/3 innings, struck out one and walked three.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: The team said LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu underwent an arthroscopic cleanup of his left elbow, performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles.
