OK, this is starting to look like the Dodgers we all know and love, right?
We sweep the Cards, then we sweep the Phillies with 36 runs to their measly 11! That’s what I’m talking about!
- (May 1) Dodgers 13-Phillies 4 BOX SCORE
- (May 2) Dodgers 13-Phillies 1 BOX SCORE
- (May 3) Dodgers 10-Phillies 6 BOX SCORE
We lose after the travel day to San Diego, but win the next two. We often lose the next game after a day off, then come back strong!
- (May 5) Padres 5-Dodgers 2 BOX SCORE
- (May 6) Dodgers 2-Padres 1 BOX SCORE
- (May 7) Dodgers 5-Padres 2 [in 10 innings] BOX SCORE
The next series in Milwaukee follows that pattern. As long as we win the series!
- (May 8) Brewers 9-Dodgers 3 BOX SCORE
- (May 9) Dodgers 6-Brewers 2 BOX SCORE
- (May 10) Dodgers 8-Brewers 1 BOX SCORE
In that first series, Max Muncy absolutely crushed a walk-off grand slam. In the second series, Dustin May stood up to Blake Snell in a pitching duel for the ages. Also, Mookie Betts hit a solo homer to tie it up, and rookies Michael Busch and James Outman drove in 3 runs the top of the 10th. That same game, reliever Evan Phillips blew away Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado — BOOOOOO! — and Juan Soto, 1-2-3, to record his 5th save of the season. Those are my Dodgers of the last few years!

I simply cannot wait to get back to the Ravine. It’s so exciting to see Clayton Kershaw vying for yet another Cy Young! Our bats have come alive, and the clutch hits are coming from everywhere! Those are MY Dodgers!
