The Dodgers go for the series win against the Nationals and their fifth straight victory on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium. There are 19 games remaining for the Dodgers before the All-Star Break, and they look to ride this current hot streak into the second half while picking up some ground on the division-leading Giants.
Yasiel Puig is back in the lineup and hitting seventh after being reinstated from the disabled list. Carlos Frias was optioned back down to Triple-A Oklahoma City. A productive Puig potentially could add more fuel to the Dodgers’ recent offensive breakthrough should he turn things around like Justin Turner has.
