But regardless of the moist circumstances, the Dodgers nonetheless discovered a strategy to be prepared, one thing they’ve been actually good at this season. With a 7-3 win over the Nats on Sunday at Nationals Park, Los Angeles took the sequence towards Washington and salvaged a 3-3 highway journey that began with a sequence loss towards the Marlins in Miami.

“We’re not looking ahead,” mentioned Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas. “We’re looking at what needs to be done today to win the game and get closer to what we want to do. We don’t want to take anything for granted and say, ‘OK, it’s going to happen.’ We need to get it done. Everybody in this locker room has a lot of experience, and it’s all about what we need to do every single day to get W’s, and that [magic] number will take care of itself.”

In the sequence finale, the Dodgers took benefit of contributions from all around the roster. On the pitching facet, Ryan Yarbrough received his first begin since becoming a member of Los Angeles on the Trade Deadline and pitched nicely, permitting two runs over 4 innings earlier than the rain got here pouring down.

The left-hander returned to the D.C. space Saturday with the expectation to begin on Sunday. Yarbrough will now head to paternity go away and return for subsequent weekend’s sequence in Seattle.

“We have things pretty well-managed, and [we] understood the role everything was going to take,” Yarbrough mentioned. “So just very glad I was able to be there for all the important things and know they’re in safe hands.”

Offensively, the Dodgers wasted no time attending to Nationals starter Trevor Williams, opening up a 4-0 lead via two innings. Jason Heyward received them on the board with a two-run single within the first. In the second, it was James Outman’s homer that highlighted the assault.

The backside of Los Angeles’ order shined within the win, particularly Austin Barnes and Rojas. Barnes had two hits, and Rojas completed with a season-high 4 knocks. Rojas has recorded not less than one hit in six of the eight video games he has began in September.

“Obviously, Miguel had a big day,” mentioned Dodgers supervisor Dave Roberts. “Today, there wasn’t a whole lot of stuff going on in the middle of the lineup, but the bottom carried us today.”

The highway journey began with the information that Julio Urías wasn’t going to make the journey with the membership following an arrest on home violence costs final Sunday. Urías was positioned on paid administrative go away a number of days later.

On the sector, Los Angeles handled a scare on Mookie Betts, who left the stadium in Miami on Thursday on crutches after fouling a ball off his left foot. And then, in fact, the membership needed to play via all of the rain delays.
