Teoscar Hernández hits one of two homers against the Cardinals on March 29. Saturday, he would repeat the feat to lead the Dodgers to a series win over the Yankees in New York. Oh yeah, and one of them was a slam! (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)

OK, OK, the Dodgers can seem very inconsistent from time to time. Our bats can be dead as doornails one day and unstoppable the next. Our pitchers can strike out the side one inning, then give up home runs like there’s no tomorrow one frame later.

The Yanks, on the other hand, had an 8-game win streak going and the best record in baseball when the Boys in Blue put a stop to it Friday night, edging their longtime rivals, 2-1, in 11 innings. We killed them the next day, 11-3, and made them work for it Sunday, when New York bested us, 6-4.

I’m so glad we beat the Yankees. I was very worried about that series. I needn’t have fretted, however, especially on Saturday, when every Dodger had at least one hit, six of them had RBIs (including six for Teoscar alone). What a game! We had a 4-2 lead going into the 8th inning, then Wham, Bam, Thank You, Maam! — we scored 7 runs in the last two, highlighted by Hernandez’s Grand Slam.

I love the Dodgers. Starting tonight, I will go to five consecutive games. Stay tuned!
