The Dodgers and Nationals complete their season series on Sunday morning, with Los Angeles using a bullpen game trying to win their seventh game in seven tries against Washington.
On July 4, the Dodgers have never won a game 7-4, though they have lost twice on Independence Day by that score. In 1921, the New York Giants won the second game of a doubleheader at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, 7-4, then in 2009 at Petco Park in San Diego, Manny Ramirez homered in his second game back from a 50-game PED suspension but the Dodgers still lost 7-4 to the Padres.
