The Los Angeles Dodgers ended a very successful Ohio road trip with an 8-7 win over the Cincinnati Reds Sunday afternoon, completing a season sweep of the Reds in the process. Los Angeles opens a nine-game homestand on a three-game winning streak and 9-1 in their past 10 games.
Yet, the Dodgers find themselves tied with the Arizona Diamondbacks int he National League West standings and one game back of the first-place Colorado Rockies. Los Angeles welcomes the banged-up New York Mets to town for a four-game set.
Clayton Kershaw takes the mound on an extra day of rest.
