The Los Angeles Dodgers successfully navigated another bullpen game and earned a 5-1 comeback win on Sunday to sweep the Washington Nationals. The Dodgers extended their winning streak to a season-best nine games, swept the Nationals in a four-game series for the first time and finished 7-0 in their head-to-head meetings this year.
Nationals starter Joe Ross pitched with his highest velocity of the season and struck out the first four batters faced. Chris Taylor ended that with a single in the second inning, and Mookie Betts had a base hit in the third, respectively, but both were stranded.
