The Dodgers' Josh Bell and Blake DeWitt both made Baseball America's Prospect Hot Sheet this week:15. Josh Bell, 3b, low Class A Great Lakes (Dodgers)... and unfortunately (but not unexpectedly), Nick Adenhart appeared in the Not-So-Hot section:Finally, Part Two. Like McCutchen, Bell struggled in the cold weather, hitting just .216 in April. But he turned it around full-force last week, hitting .476 with three homers.
20. Blake DeWitt, 3b, high Class A Inland Empire (Dodgers)
It had been a rough spring for the highly-regarded Dodgers prospect before last week. He entered with a mere .219 batting average but finished hitting safely in five of six games to bump his average to .260. Dewitt had four multi-hit games and enjoyed an 11-for-15 stretch over three games at Lancaster (the slump-buster of all ballparks this season).
Nick Adenhart, rhp, Double-A Arkansas (Angels)We've been big Adenhart fans since his days at Williamsport (Md.) High, but the 20-year-old has been scuffling in the Texas League lately. The 2004 14th-round pick has allowed eight runs on 15 hits and walked seven over his last 11 innings.
Scores
Pavkovich: 1-4, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 K

Salt Lake won this one in the top of the ninth on Adam Pavkovich's two-out solo homer off Ron Mahay. Otherwise a quiet night for the Bees.
Brandon Wood is now hitting .220. Ugh.

Pride: 2-4, 2 2B, 2 RBI, 1 BB
Rodriguez, S: 0-5, 1 K

Jepsen: (W, 1-3) (in relief), 1.2 IP, 4 R, 1 ER, 4 H, 1 K, 4 BB, 2.91 ERA
Darren O'Day continued his long streak of scoreless innings, but the surprise here was Anthony Ortega's third straight outing in which he allowed one run or fewer over eight or more innings. He had some problems up through May 13, pitching only two quality starts in eight attempts, but here he was only two outs away from a complete game shutout.
The game went to extras, and Rancho won it with a seven-run outburst in the top of the 12th that saw 66ers manager Dave Collins ejected. Inland Empire then threatened to upend that score with a four-run rally of their own off Kevin Jepsen, but Von Sterzbach came in to record the final out.
Nieves: 1-2, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K
Pettit: 1-3, 2 BB
Trumbo: 1-4, 1 3B, 3 RBI, 2 K
Sweeney: 2-4, 1 HR, 1 RBI

Haynes: 4.0 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 7 H, 7 K, 2 BB, 5.02 ERA
Browning: (W, 2-1) (in relief), 3.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 2 K, 0 BB, 4.85 ERA
Madrigal: 2.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 4.05 ERA
Young: 2-4, 1 2B, 2 K
Freeman: 2-3, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
Houlton: 6.1 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 6 H, 6 K, 2 BB, 1 HR, 3.05 ERA
Riley: (BS, 1)(W, 1-0) (in relief), 2.2 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 2 K, 0 BB, 8.03 ERA
D.J. Houlton's stuff was on again tonight, as he picked up his fifth quality start of the year in ten tries. If he could go just a little deeper into games, he might be an option at the major league level. More likely, he'll end up a throw-in in some trade or other.
Choo Freeman hit the go-ahead double in the top of the ninth.
Hu, C: 1-4
Dunlap: 1-4, 1 2B, 3 RBI
Ruan: 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 K
Cyr: (W, 5-1), 8.0 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 4 H, 5 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 2.58 ERA
Meloan: 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 1 K, 1 BB, 2.88 ERA
De Jesus: 0-4, 1 BB, 2 K
Hoffmann: 1-3, 1 RBI, 3 BB
Castillo, J: 7.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 H, 5 K, 2 BB, 3.43 ERA
Rodriguez, J: (L, 0-1) (in relief), 2.0 IP, 7 R, 7 ER, 9 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 31.50 ERA
Bell: 3-5, 1 RBI, 1 K
Peterson: 3-4, 1 BB, 1 K
Mattingly: 2-3, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB
Kershaw: (W, 5-2), 8.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 7 K, 1 BB, 2.34 ERA
A spectacular game for Clayton Kershaw: one-hit, scoreless baseball for eight innings with seven K's.
