Following this series, the Dodgers will host the Arizona Diamondbacks for three games next week, before hitting the road at San Diego (3) and Texas (2). Los Angeles still has the NL’s second-best winning percentage at .564, behind only the Cardinals. The Dodgers’ 21-9 (.700) record at home ranks third in the National League, trailing just St. Louis’ 22-7 mark (.759) and the Mets’ 21-8 (.724) record. With the Dodgers dropping four of five to the Cardinals this season, the Redbirds have nearly pulled even in the all-time series. Currently, the Dodgers hold the slimmest of advantages, 1,017-1,016 (with 16 ties). THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN: The Dodgers are in danger of losing four consecutive games for the first time since dropping four-in-a-row from Sept. 13-16, 2013, a span of 229 games. Before last season, the last Dodger team to go an entire campaign without losing four consecutive games was the 1988 World Championship squad. Including 10 Postseason contests, the Dodgers haven’t lost four-in-a-row to the Cardinals since losing four consecutive games July 24-Sept. 13, 2012. DOUBLE JEOPARDY: The Dodgers are also in peril of losing their first home series since getting swept by Milwaukee Aug. 15-17, 2014, a span of 13 series (12-0-1). That is the longest active streak in the Major Leagues. Los Angeles needs to win tonight and on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball tomorrow in order to keep its unbeaten streak alive. POWER PLAYERS: The Dodgers haven’t homered in consecutive games for just the second time this season and the first time since a five-game homer drought from May 16-21. Los Angeles still leads the National League by a wide margin and ranks second in the Majors in homers with 74, two behind the Houston Astros. HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS: This afternoon, the gates will open early at 3:30 p.m. for the annual Hollywood Stars Game, presented by New Balance. Television icons Larry King and Garry Marshall will manage opposing softball teams, consisting of a variety of celebrities, including Alan Thicke (Growing Pains), James Van Der Beek (Dawson’s Creek), Jaleel White (Family Matters & Dancing With the Stars), Vivica A. Fox (Independence Day), WNBA great Lisa Leslie, USA soccer star Landon Donovan, Entertainment Tonight co-host Kevin Frazier, actor/comedian Rob Riggle and tennis pro Mardy Fish. In addition, Academy Award and Grammy-nominated actress Minnie Driver will perform the national anthem and an MVP will be chosen from the Hollywood Stars game to throw the ceremonial first pitch. THE REIGNING MVP: NL MVP and Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw will make his 12 th start of the season and first against the Cardinals since Game 4 of the 2014 NLDS. In his regular- season career, Kershaw is 5-5 with a 3.46 ERA in 14 starts against St. Louis, including one shutout (May 19, 2012). At Dodger Stadium, Kershaw is 3-2 with a 3.25 ERA (16 ER/44.1 IP) in seven career starts against the Redbirds, including 7.0 scoreless innings the last time he faced them in the regular season at home on June 29, 2014. Kershaw’s 90 strikeouts are tied with Max Scherzer for second in the National League, two behind James Shields. He is on pace to surpass his career high of 248 strikeouts, established in 2011, and he is averaging 11.2 strikeouts per nine innings, which leads the NL and would be a career best. ODDS AND ENDS: Pitchers David Huff and Sergio Santos cleared waivers and were outrighted. Huff will report to Triple-A Oklahoma City and Santos has elected free agency. I’M COMING HOME AGAIN: Yasiel Puig was reinstated from the 15-day disabled list today after going 3-for-7 with a double and a homer in his two rehab games with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. Puig last appeared in a Major League game on April 24 and has a .279 batting average with two homers and four RBI in 11 games with the Dodgers this year. To make room for Puig, the Dodgers optioned outfielder Scott Schebler to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Schebler collected his first Major League hit on the first pitch he saw last night. KEEPING UP WITH JOC: Dodger center fielder Joc Pederson went 0-for-3 with a walk last night and his 17 home runs rank third in the National League, one behind both Bryce Harper and Giancarlo Stanton. Pederson also ranks among the NL’s best in on-base percentage (.388, 11 th ), walks (36, 3 rd ), slugging percentage (.594, 5 th ) and OPS (.981, 5 th ). Pederson ranks third in the Majors in at-bats per home run, trailing just Harper (9.94) and Mark Teixeira (10.53): Rookies, Lowest AB/HR in Season – All-Time (minimum 3.1 PA/team G) Season Player, Team AB/HR 2015 Joc Pederson, LAD 11.00 (187/17) 1987 Mark McGwire, Oak 11.37 1994 Bob Hamelin, KC 13.00 SOURCE: STATS, LLC STILL HOT: Adrian Gonzalez went 1-for-2 with two walks last night and his Major League-leading 21 doubles are still on pace to obliterate the Dodger franchise single-season record of 52, set by Johnny Frederick in 1929. The Los Angeles Dodger record was established by Shawn Green, who hit 49 doubles in 2003. Gonzalez is currently in range of attacking the Major League record of 67 doubles in a season, a feat accomplished by Boston’s Earl Webb in 1931. Gonzalez ranks among the NL’s best in runs (37, T-5 th ), home runs (11, T-9 th ), batting average (.338, 3 rd ), on-base percentage (.419, 5 th ) and slugging percentage (.611, 3 rd ). Gonzalez is batting .378 (14-for-37) with runners in scoring position and is one of three Dodgers hitting at least .340 with RISP, joining Yasmani Grandal (.367, 11-for-30) and Howie Kendrick (.340, 16-for-47). In the latest All-Star Game balloting update for the 86 th Midsummer Classic in Cincinnati, Gonzalez leads all National League first basemen with 1,380,696 votes, just 313, 214 ahead of Arizona’s Paul Goldschmidt.

2. THREE’S A STREAK: The first-place Dodgers, losers of three
consecutive contests, continue their seven-game homestand tonight
(0-2) with the third of four games against the St. Louis Cardinals,
who hold the best record in the Major Leagues at 37-18 (.673).
Following this series, the Dodgers will host the Arizona
Diamondbacks for three games next week, before hitting the road
at San Diego (3) and Texas (2).
Los Angeles still has the NL’s second-best winning
percentage at .564, behind only the Cardinals. The
Dodgers’ 21-9 (.700) record at home ranks third in the
National League, trailing just St. Louis’ 22-7 mark (.759)
and the Mets’ 21-8 (.724) record.
With the Dodgers dropping four of five to the Cardinals this
season, the Redbirds have nearly pulled even in the all-time
series. Currently, the Dodgers hold the slimmest of
advantages, 1,017-1,016 (with 16 ties).
THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN: The Dodgers are in danger of losing four
consecutive games for the first time since dropping four-in-a-row from
Sept. 13-16, 2013, a span of 229 games. Before last season, the last
Dodger team to go an entire campaign without losing four consecutive
games was the 1988 World Championship squad.
Including 10 Postseason contests, the Dodgers haven’t lost
four-in-a-row to the Cardinals since losing four consecutive
games July 24-Sept. 13, 2012.
DOUBLE JEOPARDY: The Dodgers are also in peril of losing their
first home series since getting swept by Milwaukee Aug. 15-17, 2014,
a span of 13 series (12-0-1). That is the longest active streak in the
Major Leagues. Los Angeles needs to win tonight and on ESPN
Sunday Night Baseball tomorrow in order to keep its unbeaten streak
alive.
POWER PLAYERS: The Dodgers haven’t homered in consecutive
games for just the second time this season and the first time since a
five-game homer drought from May 16-21. Los Angeles still leads the
National League by a wide margin and ranks second in the Majors in
homers with 74, two behind the Houston Astros.
HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS: This afternoon, the gates will open early
