Dodgers Week 11 In Review: Matt Kemp Still On Fire

The Dodgers lost four of seven games for the week, ending the week one game worse than they started, six and a half games out in the National League West. The Dodgers did finish up a long road trip through Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Colorado at 5-5.

Dodger Batter of the Week: Matt Kemp continued his romp through the National League, hitting .400/.464/1.080 with four home runs. Honorable mention goes to the Midget Militia, as Jamey Carroll (.556/.600/.722) and Aaron Miles (.529/.556/..588) each hit over .500

Dodger Pitcher of the Week: Ted Lilly and Rubby De La Rosa split this award, as each made two good starts during the week. For Rubby, it was his first two major league starts, and he overcame an early setback in each contest to last through five innings.

Week 11 Record:  3-4
40 runs scored (5.71 per game)
37 runs allowed (5.29 per game)
.536 pythagorean winning percentage

Season Record:  31-36
263 runs scored (3.93 per game)
285 runs allowed (4.25 per game)
.463 pythagorean winning percentage (31-36)

  • Friday: Gibbons accepted his assignment to Triple A Albuquerque after clearing waivers and being outrighted
  • Saturday: Hector Gimenez was activated from the 60-day disabled list and outrighted to Double A Chattanooga
