Andre Ethier’s walk-off homer gives Dodgers three-game sweep of Angels
The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a three-game sweep of the crosstown Angels on Sunday thanks to Andre Ethier’s walk-off home run in the 10th inning.
Ethier had given the Dodgers a one-run lead with a solo homer in the eighth inning but the Angels tied the game in the top of the ninth on a Chris Iannetta double. Ethier was 2 for five in the game with three RBIs.
There was one out and a runner on first when Ethier took a changeup from Drew Rucinsky and hit it over the rightfield fence to give the Dodgers a 5–3 win.

The win moved the Dodgers to 60–45 on the season, extending their lead in the NL West over the San Francisco Giants to 2.5 games.
