Preview: Marlins try to avoid sweep in finale vs. Dodgers

MIAMI — The Los Angeles Dodgers’ chances at a three-game sweep just got better.

The Dodgers, who have won 28 of their past 32 games, lead the majors with a 63-29 record.

In addition, the Dodgers won’t have to face Miami Marlins right-hander Edinson Volquez (4-8, 4.19 ERA) on Sunday. Volquez, who threw a no-hitter earlier this year, is out because of an injured left knee.

And it’s not like the Dodgers need much help from the opposition. They’re doing pretty well on their own.

“We’ve really hit our stride,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
