I know the MLB tries to sell the Freeway Series as this intense local rivalry or something, but I’m not sure anybody cares all that much about that aspect of it.
What I do care about is the Dodgers being at risk of dropping their first series since the end of April after a 5-3 loss to the Angels.

Hyun-Jin Ryu allowed his first homer since April in the 2nd inning to Kole Calhoun, but other than that he was excellent yet again, though he did get in some jams late.
