Kemp’s Contustion

Matt Kemp had a run-in with a wall Tuesday night.

According to the Dodgers, Kemp was officially diagnosed with a right knee contusion. He’ll also undergo x-rays on his jaw, but to this point has had no concussion-like symptoms. So it appears that he has escaped a significant injury and should only be sidelined a handful of games.

The Dodgers lost to the Rockies 8-4, while San Francisco scored twice in the ninth to beat Houston 3-2. That drops the Dodgers 3 1/2 games behind the Giants. So far, the big trade isn’t working the way Los Angeles wanted.

The Rockies are 12-4 in their last 16 games. Maybe they’re not as bad as Mike Francesa thought.
