The Dodgers finished off the Mets Thursday night at Dodger Stadium and won a season-best seventh straight game with the completion of the four-game sweep. It’s the first four-game sweep of the season for the Dodgers and their first four-game sweep of the Mets since May 7-10, 1979 (a very good year). The scorching hot Dodgers have now notched six sweeps this season and have swept two straight series.
For the second night in a row, Curtis Granderson hit a leadoff home run off a Dodger pitcher. After taking Rich Hill deep on the second pitch of the game on Wednesday, Granderson started Thursday’s game with a solo homer against Hyun-Jin Ryu in the first inning.
