The Dodgers built on last weekend’s sweep by winning two more series at home, beating the Padres and Rockies at Dodger Stadium.
They are still under .500, but lead the National League West in run differential, and have shaved their division deficit from 8½ to 3½ games in 11 days, including trimming off 1½ games last week.
Chris Taylor provided spark at the top of the lineup with two home runs and two doubles, and the team strikeout leader didn’t strike out once in 24 plate appearances.
