The Los Angeles Dodgers won their season opener against the New York Mets and are on a five-game winning streak in the second game of series. They aim to continue this success in their upcoming match against the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Dodgers took the opener over the New York Mets on Monday night, continuing their season-opening stretch of not yet losing two games in a row. They now head into Tuesday night looking to keep another streak alive — winning all the middle games of a three-game series.
Thus far, the Dodgers are five for five in the second game of a series:
Yamamoto has finished six innings in all three of his starts thus far, something Dodgers starters have done 10 times in 16 games this season (10 out of 13 starts by the non-Sasaki members of the rotation), including each of their last four middle games of series.
Dodgers starting pitchers have a 3.44 ERA this season while averaging 5.56 innings per start, and their nine quality starts are one behind the Seattle Mariners for most in the majors. And after Justin Wrobleski’s eight-inning gem on Monday night, the Dodgers will have a well-rested bullpen for the final two games of the homestand before Thursday’s off day.
Mets rookie Nolan McLean gets the ball for New York on Tuesday. The right-hander has 20 strikeouts against only six walks this season, with opposing batters hitting just .140/.234/246 against him.
The Dodgers are currently five for five in the second game of series this season.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto is a pitcher for the Dodgers who allowed only one run and faced two batters in the seventh inning during the game against the Blue Jays.
The Dodgers have not lost two games in a row so far this season, maintaining a strong performance since the season opener.
