Still trailing a couple of mediocre teams in their division, the Dodgers are about to unleash a secret weapon.
It’s not an extra arm in the bullpen. They’re counting on Kenley Jansen to straighten himself out.
It’s not a hitter who can drive in runs. Anyone who slips on a Dodgers uniform these days is taken over by the spirit of Logan Forsythe whenever runners are on base.
As the Dodgers demonstrated again in a 3-1 defeat Thursday night at Dodger Stadium, they can’t be counted on to beat the first-place Arizona Diamondbacks. They have dropped nine of 13 against the hosts of the most famous pool party ever staged in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
