Winning 2 out of 3 games in a series is generally a result any fan base would be happy with. For the Dodgers, the weekend in Arizona that just transpired marked their 5th consecutive winning series, continuing a September that’s seen them go 16-7. That’s an excellent month of baseball by any measure – and yet as the Dodgers departed Phoenix on Sunday afternoon, most fans felt disappointed by the team’s inability to sweep the Diamondbacks (50-106).
Arizona has been a doormat in the division all season. Heading into the weekend, the Dodgers and Giants each had the same record against the Diamondbacks: 14-2.
