last night's win

Nothing to panic about here. Took last night by 8. That matters. Working against that, division rank went from 1th to 2th. Wrong direction.

Dodgers News

In a much-needed offensive explosion, the Dodgers crushed the Cubs 12-4, snapping their recent struggles with a commanding performance that saw Max Muncy launch a two-run homer. After a rough stretch of just two wins in their last seven games, the Dodgers finally rediscovered their rhythm, showcasing the kind of firepower many had been waiting to see this season. Despite earlier concerns about Roki Sasaki’s performance, his retooled splitter is starting to gain traction, giving fans hope for his potential. This offensive deluge not only ended the Cubs' 10-game win streak but also restored some momentum for the Dodgers as they look to climb back up within the division. With a record of 17-9, the pressure is on to maintain this newfound energy as they face the Cubs again.
