The Dodger started a nine game road trip on Tuesday against the last place Padres. The Padres have done better going into the three game series, but still not enough to really worry the Dodgers.
The Dodgers started the series well, winning 7-2 led by Russell Martin driving in three runs, including the game winner. Kershaw pitched decent, but earned a no decision in the game. The next two games the Dodgers lost 1-4 and 0-9, as the trend continued and the offense disappeared. I guess you can say that the Dodgers offense is like Big Foot, coming out once in awhile and then never heard from again for awhile. The Dodgers pitching has been pretty consistent, it’s the offense that is killing them. The only run the Dodgers scored in the last two games was off a DeWitt homer and then they were shut down in the last game by Peavy.
The Dodgers head to Detroit next to face the Tigers in a three game series. The Tigers are coming off a series sweep of the White Sox and are going into the series pumping on all cylinders, more than can be said for the Dodgers. After Detroit they get an off day and head into Cincinnati to face the Reds in the last three game series of the road trip.
If the Dodger offense can keep scoring runs in a consistent manner they will be fine, but until that happens expect more of the same until the All Star break.
