The Dodgers beat the Braves 5-3 and the Giants lost, so the Dodgers gained a game and are only 1.5 back now. The Dodgers got homers from a likely source (Will Smith) and three less likely sources (Max Muncy, Mookie Betts, and Corey Seager). Muncy, Betts, and Seager have all been struggling somewhat as the Dodgers' pitching has carried the load -- like Julio Urias did in this game -- so it's a promising sign if those bats are starting to wake up. Jeff is here to talk about all this, plus a weird interference call and an unexpected double switch.

Locked On Dodgers, the daily podcast about the Los Angeles Dodgers with hosts Jeff Snider and Vince Samperio, is part of the Locked On Podcast Network.
