Kemp must not miss Rihanna that much

A season after seeming to lose his focus, the Dodgers' Matt Kemp leads the National League in home runs. In today's 10-8 win in Colorado, Kemp became the first Dodger ever to reach 20 home runs this early in the season, according to one of the stat services cited on Twitter. "The unquestioned NL MVP" so far, says MLB.com.
