Another Series, Another Sweep

The Dodgers swept the San Diego Padres this weekend and with 26 games to go, hold an 11 1/2 game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Zach Greinke was the pitching star in yesterday's 2-1 win, going 7 innings and giving up two hits and the one run, striking out 7 and walking 2. He improved to 14-3 on the season. He also had a hit and is batting .347 and even stole his second base on the season. He went in with the head first slide, beat a good throw, and is the first pitcher on the Dodgers since Orel Hershiser in 1987 to have two stolen bases in a season. Yasiel Puig hit his 14th homerun in the bottom of the 6th inning to provide the winning margin. Kenley Jansen closed it out for his 24th save.
