Los Angeles DodgersvsArizona Diamondbacks
LAD 6/ARI 5
Things to say
Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks 6-5 at Chase Field.
01
Dodgers squeaked one out in Arizona, 6-5. Tight all night. LA just keeps finding ways.
02
key player
Heart of the order did the damage again — that lineup is relentless one through five, nobody you want to face.
03
hot take
Arizona's bullpen is going to cost them the division. Torey going to the pen too early, again.
04
deep cut
Dodgers are 39-22 now. That's a seven-game cushion in the West before we even hit the All-Star break.
05
exit
Anyway — should be a fun rubber match tomorrow, getaway day in the desert.
The recap
Dodgers squeaked out a 6-5 win at Chase Field, classic late-inning nail-biter where every pitch felt like it could leave the yard. LA's bats kept chipping away against Arizona's starter, and once the manager went to the pen, the heart of the order made him pay.
Arizona pushed back hard in the late frames but couldn't quite catch up, and the Dodgers' bullpen slammed the door to lock down the one-run edge. Dodgers now sit at 39-22, Diamondbacks drop to 32-28 and have to wear this one on a getaway day.
