Dodgers Hit A Wall, Low Point Of Season In Loss To White Sox
But to lose Andre Ethier, and on a ball hit to the wall by Juan Pierre? That takes the cake. We have officially reached the low point in the season, so far, for the 2011 Dodgers. The Dodgers lost 8-3 to the White Sox, dropping yet another series in an American League park, their seventh loss in their last nine games, and 14th in their last 21 contests.
Kuroda, Dodgers Look For Rare Interleague Road Series Win
This is the 17th interleague road series the Dodgers have played since 2005, and the Dodgers have a chance to get a fourth series win. The Dodgers are 3-13 in series on the road in AL parks, winning in Toronto in 2007, and in Texas and Anaheim in 2009. This is only the eighth time in those 17 series that the Dodgers have had a chance to win the series.
