Last night, the Dodgers clubbed five homers in a 9-1 victory, positioning themselves to take the season series with a win tonight. Following tonight’s game, the Dodgers fly to Chicago and will play four games against the first-place Cubs Monday through Thursday. The Dodgers’ five home runs last night was the club’s most in a game since belting five on Sept. 4, 2015 at San Diego. Los Angeles did not homer five times in a game once in the 2014 campaign. The Dodgers are 13-12 on the road this season, after finishing with a 37-44 mark away from home in 2015.

The Dodgers’ 3.54 bullpen ERA ranks fourth in the National League while its .203 opponents average ranks second, trailing only the Cubs (.200). The newest Dodger, reliever Casey Fien, struck out the side in the ninth inning last night. Fien, who will wear No. 50, had his contract purchased yesterday and spent the previous four seasons in Minnesota, making 73 appearances in both 2013 and 2014. Fien was originally a 20 th -round selection of the Tigers in 2006 out of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. To make room on the 40-man roster for Fien, the Dodgers designated James Ramsey for assignment.

Slots are still available for Pederson’s baseball camp, which will take place Aug. 11. For details and registration, go to jocpedersoncamp.com. THE MAN: Dodger infielder Chase Utley hit two home runs last night, including a grand slam, and became the first Dodger since Jeff Kent in 2005 to drive in at least four runs in consecutive games. It was Utley’s first multi-homer game since April 14 of last season and he now has a .386 on-base percentage that leads the Dodgers and ranks 14th in the National League. According to ESPN Stats and Information, Utley has averaged a home run every 17.8 at-bats facing the Mets in his career, which is the highest ratio among primary second baseman in the last 100 years. Second on that list is Jeff Kent, who averaged a homer every 18.6 at-bats against the Metropolitans. BEST IN (THE) SHOW: Dodger starter Clayton Kershaw tonight looks to put the finishing touches on his resume for NL Pitcher of the Month. Kershaw is 5-0 with a 0.64 ERA (3 ER/42.0 IP) and 55 strikeouts against just two walks this month while posting a Major League-best 0.52 WHIP. This month, he also established a club record with six consecutive starts with 10 or more strikeouts, one shy of the NL record. With a 19.00 strikeout- to-walk ratio (95 SO, 5 BB), Kershaw is on pace for the highest mark in the modern era, far outpacing Phil Hughes’ 11.63 mark with Minnesota in 2014. Kershaw leads the Majors with 95 strikeouts, a 0.66 WHIP, 79.0 innings pitched, a 1.48 ERA and three shutouts. He also ranks among the big league leaders in wins (7, T-4 th ) and opponents’ batting average (.171, 3 rd ). Kershaw leads all active players (min. 1500 IP) in shutouts (15), ERA (2.39), opponents’ batting average (.205), and WHIP (1.02). Kershaw has been masterful in his career at both Citi Field and against the New York Mets. The Texas native is 7-0 with a 1.17 ERA (9 ER/69.1 IP) in 10 career starts against the Mets and even better at Citi Field, going 3-0 with a 1.01 ERA (3 ER/26.2 IP) in the regular season. Including his Game 4 NLDS gem against the Mets last year, he has allowed just one run in his last 16.0 innings at Citi Field. THE COREY STORY: Rookie shortstop Corey Seager went 2- for-5 last night and belted his eighth homer of the season. Seager has posted a .290/.343/.530 slashline in the month of May with six doubles, six homers and 12 RBI in 25 games this month. He ranks among the NL May leaders in hits (29, T-10 th ) and homers (6, T- 7 th ) while leading the Dodgers in hits (53), doubles (12), runs scored (29) and extra-base hits (21). According to Stats, LLC, Trayce Thompson and Corey Seager are the first pair of Dodger rookies ever to hit five or more home runs each in the same month. SHUT THE DOOR: Kenley Jansen is tied for fifth in the Majors with 14 saves, while allowing three runs in 20 appearances (1.42 ERA, 3 ER/19.0 IP) and limiting opponents to a .156 batting average (10-for-64) with 20 strikeouts against just one walk.
