There’s no question the Los Angeles Dodgers could use a bat like Adam Dunn’s in the middle of their lineup. Right now, they’d settle for not having to pitch to the Washington Nationals slugger. The NL home run leader hit two more as the Nationals took the opener of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium, and he’ll look to continue his success against Hiroki Kuroda(notes) on Saturday night as Washington tries to further spoil Los Angeles’ critical homestand. The Nationals didn’t deal Dunn prior to the July 31 trading deadline but placed him on waivers this week - a common practice after Aug. 1 - leaving open the possibility of negotiating a deal with the team that wins that claim.

Someone put in a claim, but that team is still not known. The Dodgers could certainly use him, considering they’ve averaged 2.5 runs in 22 games since the All-Star break. Dunn hit a pair of three-run homers in Friday’s 6-3 win, giving him six in six games. While Dunn tied a career high with six RBIs, Los Angeles - 2-3 on its seven-game homestand - has scored six runs once since the break. Dunn is 6 for 14 with four homers and four walks against the Dodgers this season. Dunn hasn’t faced Kuroda in 2010, but he’s had lots of success in eight plate appearances against the right-hander, going 3 for 4 with a homer, two doubles and four walks. Kuroda is 1-5 with a 4.96 ERA in his last six starts, and his most recent outing was particularly ineffective. He gave up five runs and seven hits while lasting four innings in a 10-5 loss to NL West-leading San Diego on Monday.
