Dodgers Dingers
The Dodgers downed the Padres 6-4 last night, blasting three more home runs as they kept pace with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Even though Manny Ramirez's contribution was just two walks, since his arrival the power on Los Angeles jumped. Through 7/31, the Dodger slugged .376 with 74 home runs in 108 games. Since, they slugged .454 with 41 home runs in 32 games. It's as if Manny showed them how to swing for the fences again.
