2007 Los Angeles Dodgers season

It started off promisingly with the Dodgers holding the National League West lead for most of the first half of the season.

Two of the teams big free agent signings, pitchers Jason Schmidt and Randy Wolf were injured and missed most of the season.

The Dodgers began their 2007 season on the road as they went to Milwaukee to begin a three-game series with the Brewers.

They got their own pitching settled down as they enjoyed a four-game winning streak, including a three-game sweep of the Giants in San Francisco.

The Dodgers returned home to face the Brewers whom they beat two in a row after dropping the first game of the series.

The Dodgers then went to San Diego to play the Padres and were swept there despite having a 5-1 lead in the 9th inning of the last game.

The Dodgers were able to end a three-game losing streak in 10 innings, with a walk off home run but then lost the next two games from the Blue Jays.

They then swept the 1st Place team of the NL East, the Mets in a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.

He was a 1st team Freshman All-American at Tennessee in 2006 and was MVP of the Knoxville Regional at the College World Series.

He was converted exclusively to a reliever in 2010, making 40 appearances for the Lookouts and 5 for the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes.
