| Week 6 | 18-10 | 3 | Of the Dodgers' 10 losses this season, six have come since April 17 in the ninth inning or later. Despite having 11 strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings, Javy Guerra is 0-3 with one save, three blown saves and an 11.37 ERA in that span. -- Jon Weisman: Dodger Thoughts | |
| Week 5 | 16-6 | 4 | The Dodgers had a 4-2 week against the top two teams in the NL East, thanks to not just Matt Kemp but also the starting pitching posting a 1.73 ERA in 45 2/3 innings (7 2/3 innings per start) with a 0.88 WHIP. -- Jon Weisman: Dodger Thoughts | |
