The Dodgers haven’t lost a series since June 5-7 when they dropped two of three games to the Washington Nationals. They are on the verge of losing the Freeway Series after another wild game on Wednesday saw them lose walk-off style on a throwing error by Yasmani Grandal. Clayton Kershaw swaps with Alex Wood to start the series finale on Thursday night.
