Along with completing a sweep of the Atlanta Braves, the Los Angeles Dodgers moved back into first place in the National League West as the San Francisco Giants were defeated by the Milwaukee Brewers.
However, the Giants pulled even by defeating the Brewers on Thursday. So the two rivals head into their weekend series at Oracle Park with first place in the NL West still up for grabs. For L.A., it’s their first time with a share of the division lead since April 28.
“We know it’s going to be a big series. We’re all looking forward to it,” Max Scherzer said of the Dodgers’ clash with the Giants.
