The Dodgers just completed their seven-game road trip against the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants. Unfortunately, the Dodgers came out one game short in the series against the Giants and returned home with a losing road trip (3-4).

Things weren’t all that bad, however, for the boys in blue as they were able to get some positive injury news and surprisingly got healthier as the road trip completed. The club sits five games over .500 at 23-18 and is getting ready for a long ten game home stand against the Miami Marlins, St. Louis Cardinals, and Chicago Cubs. 

Before this homestand gets underway, let’s take a look at some takeaways from this past road trip and what it means in the NL West.
