The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to sweep the San Francisco Giants on Sunday night and inch closer to clinching a first-round bye in the postseason.

The Dodgers took Friday's series opener, 8-2, behind a dominant five-home run outburst from the offense. On Saturday, LA's offense was even better, scoring 10 runs on 15 hits.

“I think this is the first time, seems like all year, that we’ve had four or five hitters swing the bats well for four or five games,” manager Dave Roberts said after the game. “So it’s been really good to see. Obviously, Mookie [Betts] is a big part of it, but everyone else is doing their part.”

The Dodgers remain four games up on the Atlanta Braves for the No. 2 seed in the National League playoff race. They're still two games back of the Milwaukee Brewers for the top seed that comes with home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
