There weren’t many positives from the Cleveland Indians 10-3 shellacking of the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night, but there were a couple.

The first, of course, was Adrian Gonzalez’s 14th home run of the season – a two-run shot to left/center field in the first inning. It was the 249th home run of AGon’s career.

The second positive (in a negative sort of way) is that Dodger fans got to witness an extremely rare (if not impossible) 7-2-4 triple play that included not one but two video challenges – neither of which went the Dodgers way.

There were, of course, quite a few negatives about the game. First and foremost is that with the loss and with the Giants win, the Dodgers one day reign over sole possession of first place in the NL West is over – although there is no reason to fret over this. Another negative is that the Dodgers squandered more opportunities to blow the game wide open than many of us have ever seen. Not counting the triple play, the Dodgers left the bases loaded three different times. They left a total of 10 men on base and were 5 for 13 with runners in scoring position.

The final negative is that for the seventh time this season the Dodgers failed to win their fourth consecutive game. The good news is that they have also not lost four in a row all season either – so there’s that.
