The Dodgers have slowly but surely moved back into contention in the NL Wild Card race. They are now 3rd, 1 1/2 game back of the Marlins and Phillies. Fred McGriff had a big night last night with 2 HR; I'm sure the Dodgers would love to see him go on a tear that netted him the nine he needs for 500. The Dodger pitching was typically fine top to bottom; they used five pitchers, and Gagne finished the game with a four out save, setting a new record with 55 consecutive saves (the All-Star game doesn't count). If McGriff and Shawn Green (who got on base like Shawn Green in August) can put on a offensive push in September, LA could easily sprint to the front. It's not going to take much of an offensive improvement to make this a much better team.
