The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a three-game sweep against the Washington Nationals with a 2-1 victory, largely due to Yoshinobu Yamamoto's outstanding performance of six scoreless innings and a win-loss record of 2-1. Teoscar Hernandez contributed to the win with a home run. The Dodgers' record improved to 16-11, placing them first in the NL West. Despite the team's offensive struggles, including going 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position and hitting into four inning-ending double plays, they managed to secure their second sweep of the season. Evan Phillips earned his seventh save of the season, and the team achieved a 4-game winning streak with a total of 13 strikeouts in the game.
Final: Blue Jays 3, Dodgers 1 #Dodgers are 18-12 Kevin Gasuman was good. The Blue Jays outfield defense was great. And the one time LAD had a chance to rally, they squandered it. The team's first loss since last Saturday

Final: Dodgers 4, Nationals 1 #Dodgers are 14-11 LAD has some late offense (two runs in the eighth, another in the ninth) and 4+ shutout innings from its bullpen to thank for that one. They have back-to-back wins for the first time in more than two weeks
