After winning two of three games in Philadelphia, the building blocks of a promising week were afoot, but that all came crashing down after getting swept by the Pirates in Pittsburgh. The final blow saw a 5-1 lead become a 13-6 defeat on Sunday night.
The early return on the three-team, 13-player trade was mixed at best, disastrous at worst. Alex Wood looked good at times in both starts but faded late in both games. Mat Latos was bad in his second start with the Dodgers, Jim Johnson has been historically bad in relief, and Luis Avilan is at the head of the pack with a week that can be described as kind of okay, I suppose.
