Dodgers News

The Dodgers are riding high after a gritty 2-1 victory over the Mets, improving their record to 13-4 and showcasing their depth as they continue to navigate the early season. Dalton Rushing is stepping up big time, hitting a grand slam last game and proving he can fill in admirably for the absent Shohei Ohtani, who dazzled with 10 strikeouts in his last start. Meanwhile, Andy Pages is on fire, boasting an outrageous .397 average, prompting conversations about his long-term future with the club. As the Dodgers continue to honor Jackie Robinson's legacy, it’s clear their focus is not just on wins but on carrying that legacy forward, with a warm vibe and strong run differential of +8 over the last week. The team looks to extend their momentum as they head into a weekend series against the Rockies.
