Last week was in many ways a Rorschach Test for viewing the 2015 Dodgers. One one hand the club put up a winning record on the road against the Cubs and Marlins, something that has eluded them most of the year. But the flip side was poor hitting, as the club allowed only 11 runs in seven games for the week yet still managed to lose three games.
Dodger Batter of the Week: Justin Turner continued to rake with two home runs and a triple, but this award goes to Adrian Gonzalez, who hit .360 and snapped out of a power drought with a home run and a double.
Dodger Pitcher of the Week: The pitching staff was pretty great all week, headlined by Zack Greinke, who allowed no runs in his two starts, and at least on Sunday got two whole runs of support for a win. Brett Anderson gets a mention for tying a career high with 10 strikeouts on Friday.
