The Los Angeles Dodgers leave Dodger Stadium with a win after defeating the San Diego Padres and preventing back-to-back sweeps.
The offense has been struggling this week, despite the teams long home stand. To put things in perspective only five players had more than two hits. One of them was Clayton Kershaw who on Sunday drove in the only run of the game.
Week in review preview:
Dodgers RBI leaders (Apr 25-May 1)
Kershaw 2
Utley 2
Grandal 2
Puig 2

Still with a long week of road games ahead the Dodgers look to build upon this win, and it’s something they have done before.
#Dodgers 6 game losing streak is longest since May 2013 when they lost 8 consecutive before going on 42-9 run.
