The Dodgers bookended their week with shutout losses, and in between didn’t play all that well, save for a game in Chicago on Thursday. The lack of offense was glaring enough, but other problems arose, too.
Two old friends got two-run hits, with AJ Pollock delivering the go-ahead blow on Tuesday and Joc Pederson providing some insurance on Friday in San Francisco.
The club lost four of six games on the road, including a three-game sweep at the hands of the Giants. But the biggest blow in a bad week was losing Walker Buehler for at least a few months with a right flexor tendon strain. After leaving Friday’s start after four innings, the Dodgers opening day starter was placed on the injured list Saturday and isn’t expected to pick up a baseball for six to eight weeks.
It was a bad week.
Batter of the week
Gavin Lux on Thursday had his first career four-hit game, then homered on Friday. He has a .500 on-base percentage in June. Honorable mention goes to Will Smith, who brings an eight-game hitting streak into this week.
Pitcher of the week
Mitch White was the odd man out with a case of horrible timing, but went out with a bang before heading to Triple-A, with five scoreless innings on Tuesday in Chicago. White was optioned Friday with Clayton Kershaw’s pending return taking his rotation spot on Saturday, only to have Buehler get hurt on Friday. Oops.
