Three-Inning Save: Sweeping success for the Dodgers

Three-Inning Save: A Los Angeles Dodgers Podcast

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, it was a rebound week for the Dodgers, with a sweep of the Red Sox after the All-Star break.

Shohei Ohtani hit two memorable home runs last week: a three-run shot in the All-Star Game, the first by a Dodger in the midsummer classic in 28 years; and a 473-foot blast on Sunday that very nearly cleared the entire right field pavilion at Dodger Stadium.

Against the Red Sox, the Dodgers trailed in the eighth inning on Friday, then trailed in the ninth and 10th innings on Saturday. But they persevered and won all three games anyway, thanks to contributions from up and down the lineup. Gavin Lux had four extra-base hits in a row and offered some nice perspective on his trying season. Backup catcher Austin Barnes has a nine-game hit streak, and hit his first home run of the season on Sunday.
