Dodgers Highlights: 'Hangover Lineup' Leads to Sweep of Mariners
After the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated their National League Western Division title, they didn’t let up on the Seattle Mariners. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon at T-Mobile Park, when both Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman rested, the Dodgers completed the sweep of the Mariners 6-to-1 with the affectionately named "hangover lineup".
