The Dodgers didn't do much on the field, but they still had a few memorable moments for the week. John Lindsey, after 6,342 minor league plate appearances, got his call to the major leagues, and on Sunday collected his first major league hit. Russ Mitchell has struggled to the tune of 0-for-14 to start his big league career, but collected an RBI on Sunday as well with a sacrifice fly. Kenley Jansen picked up his first major league win in relief on Saturday night.
The Dodgers continued their second half road struggles with a 2-5 start to their 10-game road trip. They were 21-21 away from Dodger Stadium heading into the All-Star break, but since are 9-21 on the road.
Dodger Batter of the Week: This award gets split between James Loney and Jay Gibbons, who both paced the Dodger offense this week. Loney had a triple and four doubles in the week, giving him a career-high 40 two-baggers on the year. Gibbons hit two home runs, continuing his so far successful audition for a spot on next year's club.
This award does not go to Ryan Theriot, who was 0-for-21 on the week, with three walks, although since he only struck out twice that means all 19 balls he hit into play turned into outs.
Dodger Pitcher of the Week: Clayton Kershaw had the best start of the week, allowing just two runs in seven innings Tuesday in San Diego. However, he was up against Mat Latos, who only allowed one run for the win. Honorable mention goes to Kenley Jansen, who struck out seven in his four innings of work, and got his first major league win.

Transactions:
