A look at what’s happening all around the majors today:
—
A DODGER DOZEN?
The Dodgers are bringing home their longest winning streak of the season, seeking a 12th straight victory as they host Atlanta. Los Angeles has won 31 of 35 – its best stretch of that length ever – and can extend it when Brandon McCarthy (6-3, 3.38 ERA) faces Mike Foltynewicz (7-5, 3.84).
PINKIE PROBLEM
The Cubs are hopeful that NL MVP Kris Bryant won’t miss much time after he sprained his left pinkie during a headfirst slide in Wednesday’s win over Atlanta.
