6/1 6-1 L to the Astros
It might be easy to blame Rhoden (6-4) for not getting the QS here, but it's really the offense that couldn't get anything going. The bullpen combination of Stewart and Denny combined to give up another 3 runs as their struggles continued. Dwight Evans picked up a couple hits, but that's about all worth mentioning. Dwayne Murphy left the game in the first after some discomfort in the field.


6/2 5-4 (10) W over the Astros
Frank Tanana served up 2 home runs and the team was down in the 9th when Bobby Grich tied the game with his 5th home run off of Frank DiPino (2-3). He then came up on the bottom of the 10th with the bases loaded and an error by Ray Knight let the winning run score. Niedenfuer (4-0) got the win.


6/3 8-3 W over the Astros
LA scored 6 runs in the first 3 innings off of Don Sutton (3-4) and never looked back. Valenzuela (8-2) went 8 and Gary Templeton went 3-5 with 3 RBI's and his first HR of the year.


Sigh of relief on Dwayne Murphy. What initially looked more serious turned out to be an oblique strain and he's only going to miss a couple of weeks. He's on the DL. Expect Stubbs to continue to start in center field.


6/4 4-3 L to the Reds
The Reds are full of ex-Dodgers. Steve Garvey knocked a 2 run double to put the Reds in front over LA. We also saw former prospect Dave Anderson and vet Juan Beniquez. In the 8th, LA got the bases loaded with 3 walks with 2 out, only to have Roy Smalley strike out. Alejandro Pena (6-2) took the loss.


6/5 3-2 W over the Reds
Garvey almost did us in again getting both rbi's on a single in the 3rd. The game stayed tied until the bottom of the ninth when newly recalled Mike Marshall sent the fans home with a walk off home run, his 5th. Smalley (4th) and Grich (6th) also homered as all three runs were solo shots. Niedenfuer (5-0) won again.


6/6 7-3 W over the Reds
Gary Templeton went 3-3 and Mike Marshall hit #6 and Rick Rhoden (7-4) went 8 for the win. Eric Davis hit 2 HR's for the Reds. We finally kept Garvey hitless. Howe pitched a scoreless 9th.


6/7 5-3 L to the Braves
Craig McMurtry (4-4) allowed 2 hits through 8 and shut us down. Templeton picked up a couple rbi's but that's all we got. Tanana (5-5) struggled through 7.


6/8 7-2 W over the Braves
Willie Randolph and Dwight Evans provided firepower with their 2nd and 11th home runs respectively, but it was the 8th inning grand slam by Mike Scioscia (3rd) that broke the game open. Fernando Valenzuela (9-2) went the distance, striking out 6.


6/9 3-1 W over the Braves
Pascual Perez took a no-hitter into the 6th and allowed 2 over 8. He turned the ball over to Bob Shirley and the wheels fell off. He walked Evans and Stubbs, then Mike Marshall walked us off again with his 7th home run. Pena pitched hard through 8, but Neidenfuer got another win to push his record to 6-0.


6/10 4-3 (11) W over the Braves
For the second game in a row LA was shut down by a starter and the second time we got it back off the bullpen. Again it was Bob Shirley who let in 3 in the ninth to send it to extras. Then, the first batter that Jose Rijo (2-3) faced was Willie Randolph and with one swing, he sent them home. His 3rd of the year. Neidenfuer again, pitched 2 scoreless and claimed another win. His record is 7-0.


6/11 9-4 W over the Giants
Atlee Hammaker looked like he had our number again, but a couple errors and we chipped away at him and got him out in the 6th. LA broke it open in the 7th off of the bullpen. Ron Kittle got his first at bats of 1984 as Stubbs was optioned. He went 2-5, Scioscia went 3-5 and Evans 3-3. Eckersley moved his record to 5-0.


6/12 6-2 W over the Giants
Tanana (6-5) served up 2 home runs and LA fell behind, yet again. He settled down though and struck out 12 in a complete game finish. The offense was all pretty much a Buck Martinez, bases loaded, triple. Willie Randolph went 3-4 with 2 RBI's to help.


6/13 3-0 W over the Giants
Fernanado Valenzuela (10-2) goes the distance for the shutout. He struck out the side in the 9th. Bobby Grich hit his 7th.


6/14 2-0 W over the Astros
Alejandro Pena (7-2) faced the minimum 27 batters allowing 1 hit and 1 error on Gary Templeton. Two double plays kept it to the minimum. He struck out 7. Dwight Evans hit his 12th home run. This pitching just keeps on pushing the team forward.


6/15 4-1 L to the Astros
Ruppert Jones finally hit his first home run and added 2 hits, but that was all the team could muster. Milt Wilcox (5-3) took the loss, even though he went 7 good innings. Ed Whitson (4-0) took us out and ended our streak.
