Dalton Rushing<\/a> is in a bit of a slump, and he sure knows it.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> catcher and first baseman got off to a scorching start to the season as he found playing time with Will Smith, hitting .444 with a 1.761 OPS in his first eight games of the season.<\/p>\n

But in 14 games since then, he’s 7 for his last 39, which accounts for a .179 batting average, and has posted a .484 OPS.<\/p>\n

In the bottom of the fourth inning with a runner on second against the San Francisco Giants<\/a> on Thursday night, Rushing struck out on a breaking ball out of the zone and was not pleased with himself. Rushing broke his bat over his leg and slammed his leg guard on the dugout bench.<\/p>\n

Two innings later, with men in scoring position, Rushing struck out on a high fastball, and he put himself in harm’s way by slamming his new bat over his helmet \u2014 still on his head \u2014 three times.<\/p>\n

Overall, it was a game to forget for Rushing, who struck out three times in a hitless effort. He has not gotten a hit since May 6.<\/p>\n

After losing four consecutive games, each by at least four runs, the Dodgers, even with Rushing’s struggles, got back on track to win the final two games of their four-game series against the Giants, including a 5-2 victory on Thursday.<\/p>\n

They haven’t exactly wowed the competition, as they sit at 25-18, but they have not let go of first place in the National League West yet this season. However, the San Diego Padres<\/a> remain right on their tail.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers embark on a nine-game road trip on Friday night, although they don’t have to go far for the first three, as they’ll face the Los Angeles Angels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But then, it’s a big series against the Padres before taking on the Milwaukee Brewers in a National League Championship Series rematch.<\/p>\n
