The Los Angeles Dodgers received a strong showing from Alex Wood and home runs by Cody Bellinger, Manny Machado and Yasmani Grandal to extend their winning streak to a season-high tying five games and complete a sweep of the Texas Rangers with a 3-1 victory at Globe Life Park.
Starting on extra rest paid off for Wood as he was efficient through five innings and navigated his way through traffic in the sixth. Wood allowed back-to-back singles with one out in the second but induced an inning-ending double play.
That marked the start of 10 consecutive batters retired in a row.
