Recap: Dodgers Defeat Nationals, Extend Winning Streak To 8 Games

There was a second rain delay of the series but this time play resumed after a 1-hour and 44-minute wait, and the Los Angeles Dodgers came away with a 5-3 victory over the Washington Nationals.

The Dodgers can now complete a sweep at Nationals Park on the Fourth of July, and they have tied a season-best winning streak at eight games.

L.A. was slow to get the offense going against Paolo Espino, who retired nine in a row after Mookie Betts opened the game with a base hit. The Dodgers finally had a baserunner reach when Max Muncy worked a leadoff walk in the fourth inning, and it sparked a rally.
