To say this is scary times for Dodger fans is an understatement. Although the Dodgers maintain the best record in the Majors at 65-41 they have lost seven of their last 11 games and have seen their lead in the NL West shrink from nine games to 6 1/2 games. Fans are starting to hyperventilate.

Tonight the Dodgers send Hiroki Kuroda to the mound. As discussed previously, Kuroda has been scuffling this season since coming of the disabled list on June 1. With a 2-5 record he has not gotten a win in his last three starts, the last coming on July 8 when he went 5 1/3 innings in San Diego giving up three runs.

Matt Kemp carried the Dodgers on his back scoring all four of the Dodgers runs in the 4-3 victory over the Houston Astros. Kemp walked, hit two singles and hit a solo home run in the eighth inning for his grand finale. "It was a heck of a day," manager Joe Torre said of Kemp. "He had a great day. Obviously we needed every bit of it." "It was a team effort," Kemp said. "I was just getting on base, and Brad Ausmus just kept driving me in. We were a dynamic duo today."

Timely hits, sweating bullets and strange plays all came together to help give Dodger manager Joe Torre a 5-2 win on his 69th birthday. Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw surrendered only two hits and a walk in his seven inning shutout of the Houston Astros. In fact Kershaw is 5-0 in his last seven starts with a 0.63 ERA giving up only three earned runs in that span. "He's using the off pitches a lot better," Torre said of Kershaw's improvement. "Now that he's getting ahead in the count it makes hitting off him a little less secure."

The Dodgers continue to be mired in their offensive slump for the second consecutive day and lose the rubber game of their series against the Seattle Mariners 4-2. It was the final game of their interleague schedule where they went 9-9, their first non-losing interleague record since 2004 when they went 10-8.

The Dodgers could not figure out Mariners starter Felix Hernandez going down 5-1.

Here is the liveblog of Game 5 of the NBA. I assure you the Lakers will bring home the championship tonight.

The Phillies managed to tie the series thanks to their home run hitting in a 7-2 rout of the Dodgers. While the Dodgers managed to contain the National League leaders in home runs throughout the series, the Phillies got three today off of Dodger pitching. Dodgers starter Randy Wolf admitted his stuff wasn't that good. "I didn't think I was very good all day," Wolf said. "It's just one of those things. I've got to get better."

On this day Dodger manager Joe Torre is only undecided about one thing: which horse to bet on in the Belmont Stakes.

The Dodgers dropped the series opener against the pesky Angels last night 3-1. The same issue from the New York Mets series reared its ugly head: the inability to hit with runners in scoring position. Last night the Dodgers were 1-for-14. While the Angels were almost as woeful going 2-for-17, that one extra hit was what netted the two runs in the eighth inning to take the lead.
