The Los Angeles Dodgers — who were seven games back in the NL West when Clayton Kershaw went down with a back injury on June 28 — have tied the San Francisco Giants for the top spot in the division. If you would have told a Dodgers fan this arc of events back on June 28, they would argued to have you committed. The Dodgers slugged their way past the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night, a 9-3 win that was L.A.'s fourth straight.
