The Dodgers will attempt to extend a few streaks on Sunday. The Dodgers have won nine straight games, the last time they won ten in a row was in 2013, from August 7th to the 17th.

The Dodgers have won ten straight at home, the longest streak in Los Angeles is 13 games, which they have done twice, the last time was in 2013. The last time the franchise won 11 games at home, the Brooklyn Dodgers did that in 1920.

Charlie Blackmon and D.J. LeMahieu are hitting .385 (in 13 at bats) and .500 (in 12 at bats) against McCarthy.

McCarthy has held Ian Desmond to a 1-for-6 career record, Mark Reynolds just has two hits but also four walks in 11 career plate appearances.

With today’s start, Rockie left-hander Tyler Anderson will be making his fourth start in the Rockies four 2017 series against the Dodgers. Anderson is 0-3 with 5.74 ERA in 15⅔ innings in his prior three starts against the Dodgers this season.
