Dodgers: Baseball’s Comeback Team of the Year

Following their epic come-from-behind win over Cincinnati on Sunday, the Dodgers now rank near the top in late inning heroics. Sunday was their 18th comeback win, so what’s fueling this fiery team from the West?

For a team that does not outright sit in first place, the Dodgers certainly appear to be on a roll. Not only did they complete a huge comeback win over the Reds this past Sunday, but they are on a win-streak that sits at six games going into the series finale vs. Cleveland, and sit at 8-5 to start the month of June.

That’s sort of been the narrative of the 2017 Dodgers, that you can never fully count them out. As of Sunday’s win, Los Angeles has 18 come-from-behind victories.

It’s to the point where fans almost hope that they’re down a few runs going into the later innings, knowing that a new hero will rise to the occasion nearly every time. With that being said, let’s take a look at what has been the Dodgers’ keys to late inning success this season.
