Sweeping the Reds will likely not be one of the Dodgers’ greatest accomplishments this season.

“It just shows what we’re capable of when we play team baseball,” manager Dave Roberts said. “Up and down the line, I just thought we had the right intentions.”also offered up encouraging signs, continuing to look sharp in his return from a back injury with a six-inning, one-run, seven-strikeout start that lowered his ERA to 2.00 — the best it has been through eight starts in a season since 2016.“I feel like I’m pretty good to go now as far as pitch count, durability,” he said.

They not only won three consecutive games for the first time in a month, but did so by scoring at least eight runs in three straight for the first time all season.They not only racked up 42 hits, but got better performances from previously slumping hitters such as Muncy, Bellinger and Justin Turner, who also had three hits Thursday.“I just think all three of those guys went about it the right way,” Roberts said. “The approach, the swings were really good. And they got rewarded.

And while they are still missing Mookie Betts, their other two superstars delivered, with Freeman finishing the series with 10 RBIs and Trea Turner collecting his second three-hit game in three days.
