After entering their series with the St. Louis Cardinals at .500, the Los Angeles Dodgers picked themselves up off the mat and delivered a three-game sweep at home.

They had just lost two out of three to the surprisingly hot Pittsburgh Pirates.

However, they took advantage of a slumping Cardinals team over the weekend.

On Sunday, they chased St. Louis starter Jake Woodford out of the game in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Noah Syndergaard delivered a solid start and the bullpen kept the Cardinals at bay.

On Twitter, the Dodgers posted a photo of reliever Alex Vesia celebrating a strikeout of Lars Nootbaar with a caption that read, “Home sweep home.”

The Dodgers had everything working over the weekend.

They got solid work from their bullpen and clutch hits in the series opener, a strong outing by Clayton Kershaw in the second game, and some key hits in the series finale.

The Dodgers have also yet to lose a series to the Cardinals since April of 2019.

With the win, Los Angeles moved into a first-place tie with the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL West with a 16-13 record.

The Dodgers won the NL West last season by a healthy margin, finishing 22 games ahead of the San Diego Padres by winning 111 games, which was a franchise record.

The team matched up with the Padres in the NLDS and fell short.

This season, they have played their best baseball so far, but a sweep of the Cardinals could help them get back on track.
