For the Dodgers, Week 2 of the Major League season wasn’t much better than Week 1: two crushing losses and a 1-4 record. With a 3-6 overall record through Sunday, the Dodgers sat four games behind division-leading Arizona.
The best thing that happened to the Dodgers last week may have been Friday’s rainout. Even Sunday’s extra-inning win over the Giants felt like a loss was looming, even with closer Kenley Jansen on the mound for his first save of the season in the team’s ninth game.
A few things became quite clear as the week wore on: The Dodgers CAN hit multiple homers in a game, and Kenley Jansen CAN’T throw a cutter above 92 miles per hour.
