The Dodgers handled business over the weekend, taking two of three from the Padres. Unfortunately, the Diamondbacks did not handle business. They were swept by the Rockies, which cut the Dodgers’ lead in the division to 1.5 games. Arizona was eliminated from playoff contention yesterday.
All they’re playing for now is to spoil the Dodgers plans, and surely they’d like nothing more than to keep the Dodgers from winning their sixth consecutive NL West title.
