From the Dodger press notes: “The Dodgers’ last extra-base hit was center fielder Matt Kemp’s two-run homer in the seventh inning on Thursday night and since then they have hit 21 straight singles. In fact, 14 of the club’s 15 hits on Thursday were singles meaning that 30 of their last 31 hits have been for one base.”
