The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to sweep the Washington Nationals<\/a> on Sunday night and extend their winning streak to four games.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers held on to win Friday’s series opener, 5-3, before coming from behind to win Saturday’s game <\/a>in 6-5 fashion thanks to a three-run home run by Tommy Edman in the bottom of the seventh inning.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s just good to see our offense come to life and get timely hits, take a lot of walks, create stress and get some big hits.” manager Dave Roberts said after Saturday’s game. \u201cIt\u2019s time to go, and I think our guys understand that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dodgers jumped ahead of the Atlanta Braves in the standings, now sitting as the No. 2 seed in the National League. LA is two games back of the Milwaukee Brewers for the top seed.<\/p>\n

Dodgers vs Nationals Pitching Matchup on Sunday<\/p>\n

Left-handed pitcher Justin Wrobleski is taking the mound for the Dodgers in his first start since Aug. 15.<\/p>\n

When Wrobleski was activated off the injured list on Sept. 1<\/a>, he was moved to the bullpen<\/a>. However, with the team needing a spot starter on Sunday following the injury to Roki Sasaki,<\/a> LA is going with Wrobleski.<\/p>\n

The left-hander had a dominant first half but has struggled since the All-Star break, sporting a 7.07 ERA across 28 innings in that time.<\/p>\n

He’s expected to pitch bulk innings in Sunday’s game, but isn’t built up to a full starter’s workload. Thus, right-handed pitcher Bobby Miller, who was activated ahead of Saturday’s game<\/a>, is expected to factor into the team’s pitching plans.<\/p>\n

Starting for the Nationals is left-hander Andrew Alvarez, who’s 2-6 with a 3.47 ERA across 90.2 innings this season.<\/p>\n

He’s coming off a strong month of August in which he finished with a 2.45 ERA over six starts (33 innings).<\/p>\n
