Dodgers Rebound Nicely

And they have yet to lose more than two games in a row all season. Quite an accomplishment after 52 games, roughly 32% into the new season. They improve to 35-17 after roughing up the Cubs for a five-run first inning en route to a 8-2 win. I missed the first three innings of the game, but saw later that the Dodgers led off the game with five straight hits, and never really looked back. Matt Kemp hit his fifth home run of the season, and Eric Milton stymied the Cubs for nearly six solid innings of work. Jamie Hoffmann, starting in right field tonight, made a spectacular catch in the second inning and turned it into a double play with a solid throw to home plate to nail the runner trying to tag up from third.

The Blue return to Chavez Ravine for a three-game series with Arizona starting tomorrow. As expected, Hiroki Kiroda will in fact be activated from the DL tomorrow and get the start.
