The Dodgers bookended their week with a pair of good wins, but in between was three games of bad baseball and another losing week. We are five series into 2018 and the Dodgers have yet to win one.
Dodgers batter of the week
Chris Taylor hit three home runs, including two to lead off a game, and led the team with six RBI and tied for the team lead with four runs scored. Honorable mention goes to Yasmani Grandal, who continued hitting (5-for-11, home run), and Chase Utley, who was 4-for-10 with four RBI. Utley is 4-for-5 as a pinch hitter this season
Dodgers pitcher of the week
Hyun-jin Ryu takes the cake this week with six scoreless innings and eight strikeouts against Oakland. He narrowly beats out Clayton Kershaw, who started with six scoreless innings against Arizona, with 12 strikeouts, but allowed a run in the seventh inning.

The week ahead
The Dodgers run the Ray Kroc gauntlet this week, heading to San Diego for three games against the Padres followed by a return home to play the Nationals over the weekend. The Padres were so close to moving to Washington following the 1973 season that Topps produced several cards in their 1974 set with “Washington” and “Nat’l Lea.” Padres cards, but Kroc, the McDonald’s owner, bought the team in January 1974 and kept them in San Diego.
