The Dodgers continued to make strides last week, sweeping the Pirates and splitting four games in Colorado against the Rockies. The offense is clicking, and the Dodgers had a chance on Sunday to end the week in first place.
They didn’t, dropping the finale at Coors Field, but end the week 1½ games behind Colorado in the NL West. The Dodgers gained a game over the last week.
Yasmani Grandal was red hot, with 13 hits in 22 at-bats for the week, hitting a ridiculous .591 with eight RBI.
