The Kenley Factor

It’s no secret that Dodgers All-Star closer Kenley Jansen has had a rough season in 2018.

Julio Urías – As advertised

It would be criminal not to acknowledge how great Dodgers left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu was during Sunday’s 14-0 rout of the National League West last place San Diego Padres in front of 50,250 at Dodger Stadium, the final Dodgers home game of the 2018 regular season.
