Hyun-jin Ryu
Back on the road against the Diamondbacks, Puig and Van Slyke each homered and Greinke picked up his league leading seventh run in the 7–0 win. On May 17, Kershaw had the shortest start of his career, lasting only innings and allowing seven runs in what became an 18–7 loss. Poor defense contributed to a 5–3 loss in the series finale. The team next traveled to Citi Field for a series against the New York Mets. They won the opener 9–4 as Adrián González had three hits, including a tie-breaking home run. He homered again the next day, as did Puig and Hanley Ramírez as Hyun-jin Ryu came off the disabled list to beat the Mets 4–3. However they lost the series finale, 5–3. Kershaw rebounded to pitch six shutout innings, sandwiched around a 45-minute rain delay, as the Dodgers won the opener of a series from the Philadelphia Phillies, 2–0, at Citizens Bank Park. More shoddy defense led to a 5–3 defeat the next day. The Dodgers ended the road trip with a 6–0 win over the Phillies as Josh Beckett pitched his first career no hitter, and the first by a Dodger pitcher since Hideo Nomo in 1996.
