The Dodgers now sit alone in first place in the NL West after they defeated the Padres last night, 3-2. Per Ken Gurnick at MLB.com:
"Beats being in second place," said manager Dave Roberts, who promised when his club was at its lowest that it would rebound as it has."Beats being in fourth place. This is what we expected. Made it a little tough on ourselves early, but we righted the ship. We've got a long way to go."
The Dodgers are 8-3 in July and 35-17 since May 24.
