The Los Angeles Dodgers looked to be the juggernaut most predicted them to be this season by getting off to a 13-2 start, but a rash of injuries set in and the team struggled as their depth wilted away.
They began to find their footing but endured another rough stretch that endured getting swept by the San Diego Padres and no-hit by the Chicago Cubs. However the slide stopped there as the Dodgers responded with a current nine-game winning streak that is their longest stretch of the season.
“It’s a good start for us,” said Max Muncy of the Dodgers starting their road trip with a series sweep of the Nationals.
