The2009 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 120th season for theLos Angeles Dodgers franchise inMajor League Baseball (MLB), their 52nd season inLos Angeles,California, and their 48th season playing their home games atDodger Stadium. The team defended theirNational League West title while earning the best record in theNational League, and marked the 50th anniversary of their1959 World Series Championship. The Dodgers reached theNLCS for the second straight season only to once more fall short in five games against thePhiladelphia Phillies.
2009 saw the Dodgers open their brand new spring training facility,Camelback Ranch-Glendale. The 13,000-seat stadium and surrounding facilities that the Dodgers share with theChicago White Sox replaced their former facility atHolman Stadium inVero Beach, Florida, where the team had trained in the spring since 1948. This also marked the Dodgers debut as a member of theCactus League.

The Dodgers began their season on April 13 atDodger Stadium.Orlando Hudsonhit for the cycle with aninfieldsingle in the first inning, ahome run in the third, adouble in the fourth, and atriple in the sixth. He was the first Dodger to hit for the cycle sinceWes Parker in 1970. Hudson became the first Dodger to hit for the cycle at Dodger Stadium, and did it in front of a record crowd of 57,099.[1]
A strong start to the season resulted in a record of 13–0 at home, beating the previous club record (9–0) held by the1946 team, the previousNational League record (10–0) held by the1918 Giants, the1970 Cubs, and the1983 Braves, and the previousMajor League record (12–0) held by the1911 Tigers.[2] On May 7, MLB announced a 50-game suspension forManny Ramirez as a result of his testing positive for a banned substance under the collective bargaining agreement.[3] A game against theColorado Rockies on May 25th atCoors Field saw the Dodgers score seven runs in the fourth inning and eight runs in the seventh to key a 16–6 rout of the Rockies.[4]
The month opened with a loss to theArizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers had fivewild pitches: three byCory Wade in the seventh inning and two byBrent Leach in the eighth. This set a record for most wild pitches in a single game in club history and tied a franchise record set in1918.[5] On June 5 and 6,Andre Ethier provided a walk-off game-winning hit on each day to defeat thePhiladelphia Phillies. Ethier hit a 2-run double in the bottom of the 9th inning on June 5 to give the Dodgers a 4–3 win, and then hit a solo home run in the 12th inning on June 6 to give the Dodgers a 3–2 victory.[6]Jeff Weaver started for the Dodgers against theLos Angeles Angels on June 20th. The opposing starter was his younger brotherJered Weaver. This was the first pitching matchup between brothers since 2002 whenAndy andAlan Benes matched up and only the 15th such game since 1967.[7] The Dodgers won 6–4.[8]
On July 10,Manny Ramirez hit a two-run homer in the top of the sixth against theMilwaukee Brewers. This home run tiedMickey Mantle for 15th place on theall-time home run list with 536 career home runs.[9] He hit his 537th on July 20 against theCincinnati Reds to pass Mantle.[10] Two days later, Ramirez hit a pinch-hit grand slam in the bottom of the sixth inning also against the Reds. This was his 21st career grand slam (2nd all-time behindLou Gehrig) and first career pinch hit homer. The home run came on "Manny RamirezBobblehead night" at the Stadium.[11] The Dodgers did not lose three games in a row until a loss to theSt. Louis Cardinals on July 28. They were the last team in the 2009 season to lose three games in a row.[12] This was the deepest into the season a Major League Baseball team had gone without losing three straight since the2001 Seattle Mariners, who lost their third straight on September 22.[13] The team suffered a blowout 10–0 loss to theSt. Louis Cardinals on July 28th. Utility infielderMark Loretta pitched one-third of an inning in the bottom of the eighth for the Dodgers, hitting the first batter and inducing the second batter to fly out. Loretta had pitched an inning of relief in 2001 for theMilwaukee Brewers, and was the first Dodger position player to pitch sinceRobin Ventura in 2004.[14]
On August 4, the Dodgers beat theMilwaukee Brewers 17–4 at Dodger Stadium. The 17 runs scored was the highest run total by the Dodgers in a home game since they also scored 17 on May 25, 1979, against theCincinnati Reds.[15] With two outs in the ninth inning, relief pitcherGuillermo Mota hit Brewers first basemanPrince Fielder with a pitch (apparently in retaliation forChris Smith hittingManny Ramirez a few innings earlier). Mota was ejected from the game. After the game, Fielder attempted to gain entry into the Dodgers clubhouse to confront Mota but was stopped by security guards. Both Mota and Fielder were fined by Major League Baseball for their actions.[16] In a road game against theArizona Diamondbacks on August 15, Dodgers pitcherHiroki Kuroda was hit in the head by a line drive off the bat ofRusty Ryal. After leaving the game, he was diagnosed with a concussion and stayed in the hospital overnight.[17] Five days later,Russell Martin hit a grand-slam home run in the sixth inning to break open a 2–2 tie and lead the Dodgers to a 7–2 victory over theChicago Cubs. It was the fourth home run for Martin in the 2009 season and his second career grand slam.[18] On August 21,Randy Wolf,George Sherrill, andJonathan Broxton combined to one-hit theChicago Cubs and beat them 2–1. Wolf hit a double in the second inning to score the Dodgers' only two runs.[19]
On September 5,Randy Wolf picked up his 100th career win, in a 7–4 victory over theSan Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium.[20] Soon after on September 8, the Dodgers tied a franchise record by hitting into five double plays in a road game against theArizona Diamondbacks.Russell Martin (second inning),Rafael Furcal (third inning),James Loney (fourth inning),Matt Kemp (sixth inning) andRonnie Belliard (seventh inning) all hit into double plays in the game. The Dodgers came from behind to win the game 5–4.[21] On September 26, the Dodgers came from behind to beat thePittsburgh Pirates 8–4 at Pittsburgh. The victory clinched a playoff spot for the Dodgers, their third in four seasons. The last time the Dodgers made the playoffs three times in four years was 1963–66.[22]
On October 3, the Dodgers broke open a scoreless game against theColorado Rockies with a five-run seventh inning and held on for the 5–0 victory that clinched their second straight National League West championship.[23] It was the first time the Dodgers won back-to-back division pennants since 1977–78.[24]

The Dodgers selected 51 players in this draft. Of those, seven of them have played Major League Baseball. They lost their first-round pick as a result of signing free agentOrlando Hudson but gained a supplemental first-round pick and a second-round pick as a compensation for losing pitcherDerek Lowe.
The Dodgers top pick in this draft was left-handed pitcher Aaron Miller fromBaylor University. In five seasons in the minors he was 20–19 with a 4.03 ERA in 82 games (65 starts). Midway through the 2013 season, the Dodgers decided to take him off the mound and turn him into a position player.[50] He hit 14 homers and drove in 60 RBI in 2014 in class-A as adesignated hitter but retired after the season without making it to the Majors.[51]
They went the opposite direction with outfielderBlake Smith fromUniversity of California, Berkeley. Also in the 2013 season they decided to take Smith and make him into a relief pitcher. He was later traded, and eventually made it to the majors with theChicago White Sox.
