The Los Angeles Dodgers are showing signs of their championship-winning form, having won seven of their last eight games. They reclaimed first place in the National League West by defeating the San Diego Padres in their last two games, leveraging a familiar strategy of power hitting and effective relief pitching. Notably, Freddie Freeman contributed significantly by hitting two home runs in a 5-4 victory. The bullpen has been exceptional, extending its scoreless streak to 29 innings, with only 11 walks allowed during this stretch, demonstrating their control and effectiveness. Manager Dave Roberts has been strategic, using his most trusted relievers in critical situations, such as bringing in Tanner Scott during a pivotal moment against the Padres. A standout moment came from Andy Pages, whose nine-pitch at-bat in the ninth inning resulted in the game-winning sacrifice fly, earning accolades from teammates. As the Dodgers prepare for a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers, who have the NL's third-best record, this series will be crucial in determining their true form and potential for the season.
