The Dodgers got terrible news this week with Clayton Kershaw sideline with a herniated disc in his back, and also lost starting center fielder Joc Pederson to a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder.
But even with the losses, the Dodgers were able to limit the losses on the field, winning six of seven games in Pittsburgh, Milwaukee plus back home against the Rockies. The club has won 12 of its last 16 and 14 of its last 19 games.
Even without Kershaw, the club got strong pitching from just about everyone, and the offense did what it had to do.
