Following the weekend tilt, the Dodgers will travel to Philadelphia on Monday and begin a six-game road trip against the Phillies (3 G) and Pirates (3 G) Tuesday night. Los Angeles has gone 5-4 in Interleague play this year in pursuit of its third consecutive winning season against American League opponents. Tonight’s game has already been announced as a sellout, the club’s ninth of 2015. GETTING THE “W”: The Dodgers and Angels have been consistent winners over the last three seasons: Most Consecutive Non-Losing Months, MLB Active Streaks (April – September only) Cardinals 19 July 2012 – July 2015 Angels 12 August 2013 – July 2015 Dodgers 10 April 2014 – July 2015 Pirates 9 May 2014 – July 2015 The Dodgers’ 10 consecutive months at .500 or better is their second-longest such streak since they moved to Los Angeles in 1958 (13 from Sept. 1964- Sept. 1966). The Dodgers have been in first place for 105 days this season, second to only the St. Louis Cardinals (109). SOURCE: STATS, LLC CY GREINKE: Tonight, Dodger All-Star right-hander and Cy Young Award candidate Zack Greinke will make his 21 st start of the season and 10 th career outing against the Angels. Greinke leads the Major Leagues with a 1.37 ERA, a .186 opponents’ batting average and a 0.83 WHIP (tied with Max Scherzer). In his career, Greinke is just 1-5 with a 4.07 ERA (27 ER/59.2 IP) against the Angels. His lone victory came on May 7, 2008 for the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Both Joel Peralta and Alberto Callaspo played for Kansas City in that game. Dodger starters have posted a 2.67 ERA (41 ER/138.1 IP) this month, the best mark in the Majors, led by Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw, who have combined to go 6-0 with a 0.43 ERA (3 ER/63.0 IP) in eight starts. According to Elias, the duo has a chance to post the lowest ERA by a pair of teammates in a single calendar month, outpacing the current record of 0.49 (5 ER/92.1 IP), set by Orel Hershiser (0 ER/55.0 IP) and Tim Belcher (5 ER/37.1 IP) in September 1988. DEADLINE DEALINGS: Yesterday, the Dodgers acquired left- handed starter Alex Wood (No. 57), left-handed reliever Luis Avilan (No. 43), right-handed reliever Jim Johnson (No. 54), right-handed starter Mat Latos (No. 55), right-hander Bronson Arroyo, infielder Michael Morse and highly touted prospect Jose Peraza in a 13- player, three-team trade with the Marlins and Braves. To make room for those players on the 40-man roster, the club placed Arroyo on the 60-day DL, transferred right-handed reliever Chris Hatcher to the 60- day disabled list (left oblique strain) and designated the following players for assignment: right-handed pitcher Brandon Beachy, outfielder Chris Heisey, infielder/outfielder Morse and right-handed reliever Chin-Hui Tsao. the club optioned Mike Bolsinger and Zach Lee to Triple-A and placed Justin Turner on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to July 27) with a right thigh skin infection in order to place Wood, Avilan and Johnson on the active roster. In addition, the Dodgers picked up minor league outfielder Jose Tabata from the Pirates in exchange for Morse and cash consideration. Prior to 1995, the Dodgers had made just one trade on July 31, a 1991 deal that brought reliever Roger McDowell to Los Angeles. Since then, the Dodgers have made deadline- day deals in 1995, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. A complete list of trades in Dodger history can be found on pgs. 350-355 of the 2015 Dodger Guide. HOWIE DO IT: Howie Kendrick went 2-for-4 on Wednesday and leads the team with 32 multi-hit games (T-6 th , NL). Kendrick, who spent the first nine seasons of his career playing for the Angels, will face his old team for the first time this evening and his .292 career average with the Halos is fifth all-time. Kendrick is batting .353 (12- for-34) in nine Interleague games this year. LOCKED IN: Adrian Gonzalez has hit safely in 10 of 11 games since the All-Star break, posting a .415/.489/.732 slashline and one of the National League’s top batting averages in that span: Highest Batting Avg. Since All-Star Break, NL (min. 20 AB) 1. Joey Votto, CIN .542 2. Jeff Francoeur, PHI .500 3. Gerardo Parra, MIL .444 4. Justin Turner, LAD .424 (14-for-33) 5. DJ LeMahieu, COL .417 6. Adrian Gonzalez, LAD .415 (17-for-41) Despite missing the last two games with an infection on his right upper thigh, Turner has hit a team-best .343 through 19 July games (23-for-67), which would mark his third- consecutive month with a batting average of .315 or better. Since joining the Dodgers last season, Turner leads the Majors with a .332 batting average (min. 500 AB). According to STATS, LLC, Gonzalez, Mike Trout, Paul Goldschmidt and Josh Donaldson are the only players in the big leagues to lead their respective teams in runs, hits, doubles, homers and RBI this year. Since his rookie year in 2006, Gonzalez’s 28 Interleague home runs are tied for 13 th among active players. Outfielder Andre Ethier’s .325 batting average (53-for-163) against the Angels rank fourth among active players (min. 150 PA), trailing just Joe Mauer (.354), Mike Napoli (.331) and Jose Altuve (.330). SO IT GOES: Dodger reliever J.P. Howell saw his streak of 36 games without allowing an earned run come to an end Wednesday night, after giving up three runs (two earned) to the A’s. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Howell did set the club record for most consecutive appearances without allowing an earned run (36) and is second to John Candeleria (23) for the franchise record (since 1900) for most consecutive scoreless games (22). REHAB UPDATE: Tonight, right-hander Carlos Frias (low back tightness) is expected to make a rehab start for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga.
