Arizona DiamondbacksvsLos Angeles Dodgers
ARI 9/LAD 3
Things to say
The Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-3 at Dodger Stadium.
01
opener
D-backs went into Chavez Ravine and hung a nine-spot on them. Nobody saw that coming. Dodgers just never got into it.
02
key player
Arizona's heart of the order did all the damage, kept turning the lineup over. Every time you looked up there were guys on base.
03
hot take
I don't care about the record, this Dodgers team has a bullpen problem. It keeps costing them.
04
deep cut
Watch the D-backs starter, he went deep into that game and never really gave in. Kept the pen fresh on a getaway day.
05
exit
Anyway, .500 ballclub stealing one on the road, I'll take it. Let's see if they can grab the series tomorrow.
The recap
Arizona walked into Dodger Stadium and stole one, 9-3, flipping a .500 club back to respectable against the best record in the league. Nine runs means the heart of the order was doing damage all night and somebody probably left the yard, because you don't hang a crooked number on the Dodgers by accident.
LA's staff never got into its stuff, and once this one got out of hand the manager was just trying to save the pen for tomorrow. Getaway-day laugher for the Snakes, and a rare quiet night in Chavez Ravine.
