The Dodgers are a mighty team and sweeping them always seemed like a tall order. Still, after having won the first two games of the series, if you’d told me they’d hold the Dodgers to two runs, I’d have guessed they would have accomplished that.
The one thing that hurt in this one was that it wasn’t really the prodigious power of the Dodgers wasn’t particularly what lead to their two runs. Sure, Alex Verdugo smashed the ball that lead to his triple. But, as has been occasionally the case, I’m not sure that Jason Heyward took the best possible route to cutting the ball off.
