Now the

The Dodgers' offense has been sluggish lately, and that's putting it nicely. They've put up very few runs, and then asked their pitchers to allow even fewer. That formula hasn't been working, as their starting pitchers have been everyone not named Kershaw. Today that changed. In an afternoon game that yours
