Mon 29 6p: Bobby Miller vs. Trevor Williams Tue 30 7p: Tony Gonsolin vs. Jake Irvin Wed 31 1p: Noah Syndergaard vs. Patrick Corbin
Hot off a disappointing 4-6 road trip (their longest of the season), not to mention a depressing 11-10 loss which dropped the series in Tampa Bay, the Dodgers return to the Stadium to face a swarm of pesky Nats. The Dodgers still own the second-best record in the National League (only behind the Braves by a half-game), and pundits have those two teams as the only NL playoff locks at this point.
But the team definitely looks weaker than their record shows, pillaged most recently by injuries to the starting rotation, not to mention a horrible May for Max Muncy that saw his batting average drop back below .200 (he's at .208 going into Monday's game, which he is sitting out). We get three games against the sub-.500 Nationals before the red-hot Yankees come to town. Better get the kinks out now.

Bobby Miller had a nice outing last night.
WIN
I’m at the Stadium tonight
Game 2
Dodgers up 4-1 through 4.5. Freddie just singled to open up B5.
It’s beautiful out here tonight.
Great win and glad I was there tonight!!!
GAME 3
Noah Syndergaard has already coughed up the 3-0 lead they have him. He sucks.
3-3 tie, mid-3
Freeman reaches on an error to lead off B3. Freeman steals second. Then Will Smith singles, but the throw back misses the cutoff man so Smith is on second (Freeman on third).
3-3, B3 no out
JD Martinez walks! Rancho ardiendo!
Four-pitch walk to Muncy scores Freeman!
4-3 LA, B3 no out
And of course, CT3 Ks. One out.
Vargas pops out in foul territory for out #2.
And of course, Miguel Rojas (batting .202) grounds out for the third out.
Rojas is SOOOOOO bad.
4-3 through 3 full
We needed more
Freeman GIDPs to end the fourth.
4-3 LA
Top 7, down 5-4, and Vesia in.
Gulp.
Vesia gets called strike 3 on Dominic Smith!
5-4 Washington, mid-7
Dieter just played Billy Joel's "The Longest Time" when the pitch violation gave Chris Taylor first base, here in the bottom of the seventh.
Holy shit! Rojas with a two-out RBI single!
Tie game
Heyward Ks with a RISP.
5-5 through 7 full
Graterol comes in for the eighth and is puking up chips here.
Hits the first batter on the first pitch, and then throws away a comebacker for men at second and third with none out.
Graterol almost gets out of it, but coughs up a three-run HR to Luis Garcia.
8-5 Washington, T8.
Mookie Betts isn't done yet, though. Leadoff HR in the bottom of the eighth.
8-6 Washington, none out.
Freeman singles!
Smith Ks. Freeman steals second anyway.
One out.
Bickford warming up, so we're going to need more than two runs here.
And Muncy chokes for out 3.
8-6 Washington through 8 full.
Phil Bickford also sucks. He gives up a two-out HR to Keibert Ruiz, so it's 10-6 Washington.
Nice job, relief crew!
shit show bullpen
And that's all she wrote. 10-6 WSH, final.
Boy all the Dodgers pitching sucked today.
@spank: Syndergaard also sucked btw.
@ Saxy- yep. Syndergaard sucking is a given. But Graterol needs to step up already. Dudes still pitching like he's just been called up.
