Jeff Bennett hit a three-run homer, and Andruw Jones and Jeff Kent added solo shots during a six-run seventh inning to lead Chad Billingsley and the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Milwaukee Brewers 7-2 on Thursday. Jones, hitting .182, turned on a high fastball for a solo homer to lead off the inning, his second homer and seventh RBI this season. After an out, Ben Sheets hung a breaking ball and Kent made it 2-0. "He made a mistake and I was able to take advantage of it," Jones said. "In that inning all of sudden, he started throwing balls up and we were able to hit him." (Updated 05/15/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Jones is now 3-for-9 (.333) over his last two games with three RBI in his last four games. The Dodgers have tried everything, including giving Jones a few days off, to snap him out of his early-season funk. The problem could be poor physical conditioning by Jones, but the fact of the matter remains, he just isn't hitting. Jones has potential to post some serious numbers, but until he gets going, he is not a very attractive Fantasy OF. (Updated 05/15/2008).
