The Los Angeles Angels swept the Dodgers 6-0, marking the first complete season series sweep since Interleague play began in 1997. Previously, the Angels had not swept the Dodgers in more than four games. The timing of the sweep comes as the Dodgers experience a decline in performance since July 4, coinciding with the strong performance of the San Diego Padres, who have taken the lead in the National League West. Manager Dave Roberts sees the upcoming off day as an opportunity for player recovery ahead of key games.
The Los Angeles Angels completed a six-game season series sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers for the first time since Interleague play began in 1997.
The Angels had previously never swept the Dodgers in a season series of more than four games, with a previous best of 4-0 in 2019.
Since July 4, the Dodgers' performance has declined sharply, coinciding with the San Diego Padres' strong run, leading to the Padres overtaking the Dodgers for first place.
Manager Dave Roberts believes that the scheduled off day will help with physical recovery for key players as the team prepares to support Clayton Kershaw.
