The Dodgers rebounded from a poor week with a very strong week. They swept a team they were supposed to beat in the Reds, then captured two of three on the road against the playoff-contending Mets, who knocked them out of the postseason in 2015.
The week was good enough for the Dodgers that even in their loss they mounted a ninth-inning rally to tie the game, only to lose in the bottom of the ninth.
That was a game they had every right to lose much earlier, thanks to a shortened, shaky debut by a wild Julio Urias on Friday night.
