WASHINGTON, D.C.: Los Angeles lost 16 of 17 games between August 26th and September 11th, then the Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants in two straight games in AT&T Park to earn a series win before they had to fly across the country for this weekend’s three-game set in the nation’s capital.
Dodgers’ skipper Dave Roberts told reporters, as quoted by ESPN’s Eddie Matz, that the back-to-back wins earlier this week were a welcome change after a sustained stretch of losses that followed LA’s extraordinary 53-11 run that stretched from early June to the last week of August.
