Have the Los Angeles Dodgers finally broken out of their slumping ways?
In their 8-0 win against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday afternoon, they sure looked more like the team we expect to see every day. Clayton Kershaw was his old masterful self, scattering four hits across seven scoreless innings. The bullpen wobbled but held, and the offense unleashed six runs in the bottom of the eighth inning with two outs.
Obviously we know that one good game does not a slump break. There were however some encouraging signs.
Max Muncy has been a walking machine this season, but the hits have not always been there.
