Andre Ethier’s 29-game hitting streak was put on hold when the Dodgers scratched their All-Star right fielder because of an inflamed left elbow before losing a 5-1 decision to the Cubs yesterday in Los Angeles.

“It’s been sore for the last couple of days,” said Ethier, who, after an off day today, might play tomorrow night at Citi Field when the Dodgers open a weekend series with the Mets.

For the Cubs yesterday, Geovany Soto, Carlos Pena and Marlon Byrd homered as Carlos Zambrano (4-1) outpitched Ted Lilly.
