Los Angeles Dodgers sweep Washington Nationals in three-game series

The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a three-game series sweep of the Washington Nationals at Dodger Stadium, securing their fourth consecutive Major League victory. The final game ended in a 7-5 victory for Los Angeles.

In the series finale, Mookie Betts provided the decisive blow with an eight-inning three-run home run. Tommy Edman also contributed significantly, hitting a double to help erase a deficit and providing defensive versatility in the absence of injured players like Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages. While the Nationals saw strong performances from CJ Abrams and Daylen Lile, the Dodgers' offense managed to overcome a mid-game lead held by Washington.

Shohei Ohtani remains a concern for the Dodgers' lineup, missing several games due to injury and remaining a doubt for upcoming play. Despite these absences, the Dodgers have moved up to the No. 2 seed in the National League.
