Max Scherzer turned in another dominant start and although it was cut short due to an undisclosed reason, the Los Angeles Dodgers finished their homestand with a 4-3 win and sweep of the Atlanta Braves.
It kept pressure on the San Francisco Giants, who were trailing when the game went final at Dodger Stadium. With their win L.A. pulled into a tie for first place in the National League West.
It’s their first time atop the division since April 28, and adds even more intrigue to this weekend’s series at Oracle Park.
While it could have been easy for the Dodgers to look ahead to the NL West showdown, their focus didn’t wane against the Braves.
