Dodgers Highlights: Chris Taylor & David Peralta Lead Offense In Sweep Of Cardinals

The Los Angeles Dodgers were a futile 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position on Sunday but still came away with a 6-3 win to complete a series sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals. That gave the Dodgers their first sweep of the year and tied their season-best winning streak of three games.

After St. Louis took a 2-0 lead in the second inning, Jason Heyward’s leadoff double started the Dodgers’ comeback. That wound up being their only hit in the bottom of the second, but he came around to score thanks to two groundouts.

Heyward then was part of the Dodgers scoring in the fourth inning as started a stretch of back-to-back walks. He and James Outman advanced on a Miguel Vargas groundout, and David Peralta’s grounder brought Heyward in to tie the game.

Chris Taylor followed that with a two-out RBI double to give the Dodgers a 3-2 lead. The double was Taylor’s first of the season and he bounced back from a four-strikeout night with a second multi-hit performance in the past week.

The Cardinals tied the game in the top of the fifth but the Dodgers responded back in the bottom half of the inning. Will Smith’s fly ball to right field landed just fair and was followed by walks from Max Muncy and Heyward to load the bases with nobody out.

The Dodgers took a lead when Cardinals relief pitcher Drew VerHagen threw a wild pitch. Miguel Vargas ended that plate appearance with a walk, and Peralta beat out a would-be inning-ending double play for his second RBI.

Smith provided insurance in the eighth inning on a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded.

Next for Dodgers

The Dodgers are yet to win four games in a row this season and look to accomplish that with the Philadelphia Phillies next to arrive at Dodger Stadium.

The series is Trea Turner’s first against the Dodgers since signing an 11-year, $300 million contract with the Phillies during the offseason.
