Brewers sweep Dodgers & a weekend recap

The first series back after the All-Star break did not go as planned for the Los Angeles Dodgers. On the flip-side, it went as well as it could go for the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers swept the Dodgers, in LA, over the weekend as they extended their win streak to ten and climbed up the standings to tie the Cubs for the lead in the NL Central. The Dodgers remain 3.5 games up in the NL West, but everything is not going according to the script in Los Angeles. Mookie Betts' struggles continued, and he's now been moved into the leadoff spot, and Freddie Freeman left the game Sunday after getting hit on the wrist. Freeman's future availability is currently in question. Jake and Jordan discuss both the impressive success of the Brewers and the Dodgers struggles.

That was not the only sweep of the weekend as the Blue Jays and Diamondbacks swept their series, and the Chicago White Sox notched their first sweep of the year by taking down the Pittsburgh Pirates. The guys dive into each of these series as well as the Cubs vs. Red Sox, Yankees vs. Braves and Reds vs. Mets. They wrap up by going Turbo Mode to chat about every other series over the weekend. 

Plus, the Mets retired David Wright's jersey number on Saturday and Jake and Jordan reflect on the former Met's impressive career.
