In what can only be described as shocking, the Dodgers were in position for a four-game sweep of the Cardinals in St. Louis entering Sunday night’s contest on ESPN. Unfortunately, in rather hilariously predictable 2018 fashion, the offense was silenced and the Dodgers dropped the series finale 5-0.

Ross Stripling got the start on short rest, but was allowed to go 72 pitches, and maybe trying to get four innings out of him was too big of an ask. While he gave up a solo homer to Marcell Ozuna in the 2nd, Stripling was otherwise clean through three frames.
