Three Inning Save: Dodgers streak to the top of the NL West

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, hosts Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch reconvene to talk about the red-hot Dodgers, after Jacob and his wife welcomed a new baby.

The Dodgers beat the Padres in a series for two straight weekends, including a sweep in Los Angeles over Mother’s Day weekend to open up a seven-game lead in the National League West over third-place San Diego only about a quarter into the 2023 season.

Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman are heating up, and both Will Smith and J.D. Martinez are back in the lineup, putting the Dodgers formidable offense back at full strength.

With Tony Gonsolin back in the rotation, Dodgers pitching has stabled somewhat, including Clayton Kershaw, Julio Urías, and Dustin May, plus a bullpen that started slow but had pitched well the last few weeks, specifically the higher-leverage pitchers.
