The Los Angeles Dodgers again came from behind and pulled away late to defeat the Washington Nationals, extending their winning streak to a season-best nine games with a 5-1 victory in the early start on Fourth of July.
A bullpen game for the Dodgers began in shaky fashion as Garrett Cleavinger allowed a two-out double and issued a walk before getting through a scoreless first inning. That was all the Dodgers asked for from the southpaw in his first career start.
Phil Bickford got into the third inning before being removed after walking Josh Harrison with one out.
