Los Angeles DodgersvsArizona Diamondbacks
LAD 1/ARI 4
Things to say
Arizona beat the Dodgers 4-1 at Chase Field.
01
opener
Snakes took down LA 4-1 last night. Dodgers bats just never showed up. One run the whole game, that's it.
02
key player
Whoever Arizona ran out there got into his stuff early — held the heart of that Dodger order to basically nothing all night.
03
hot take
Look at the records though — 38-22 still runs the West. One loss in Phoenix doesn't change a thing.
04
deep cut
Chase Field in June, ball usually leaves the yard. Four total runs scored? Somebody's bullpen earned their check.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Dodgers wake up tonight or if Arizona steals the series.
The recap
Arizona handed the Dodgers a quiet 4-1 loss at Chase Field, and LA's bats never really got going against the D-backs staff. One run on the road against a division rival is a tough way to spend a night, especially with the heart of the order going cold at the wrong time.
Arizona keeps clawing toward .500 territory and pulls within six of the Dodgers in the West. Getaway-day vibes for LA — they'll want to flush this one fast.
