Gotta say that the Dodgers were impressive this weekend. An offensive burst in the first game, followed by two games of virtually no runs scored. Bills pitched amazingly on Saturday and Broxton and Saito helped him out. Lowe was pretty good as well on Sunday, though his one blemish ended up costing him.
The pitching is performing again. Since Brad Penny’s DL stint, the Dodgers are 7-7. Not amazing, but .500 ball is nothing to scoff at when your team is six games below.
They’ve allowed 48 runs in the 14 games (3.4 RA) and racked up 50 (3.6 RF), so the record is reasonable.
But more to the point, the Dodgers have allowed 3 runs in the last 5 games, with three shutouts and scored 11. Those opponents were the White Sox and Angels, both AL teams with some decent to mid-range line ups, so this is hopefully the upswing that we’ve all been hoping for. Granted, small sample size, but still impressive.
Now, if they could just score some runs.
