What happened: The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to host the Tampa Bay Rays for the third game of their interleague series on Wednesday. Los Angeles currently leads the series 2-0 after a Miguel Rojas solo blast helped secure an earlier victory in the set.
Why it matters: A win would bolster the Dodgers' 46-27 record as they continue to pace the National League West. The 41-28 Rays, currently trailing the Yankees in the American League East, seek to salvage the final game of the set and narrow the gap in their division.
By the numbers: The Dodgers enter play with a 46-27 record and a run differential through 73 games. Tampa Bay counters with a 41-28 mark, sitting just 1.5 games out of first place in the American League East standings.
