Los Angeles DodgersvsArizona Diamondbacks
LAD 2/ARI 3
Things to say
Arizona beat the Dodgers 3-2 at Chase Field.
01
opener
Snakes took down the Dodgers 3-2 last night. Tight one all the way through. Always feels good when Arizona steals one at home against LA.
02
key player
Whoever Arizona ran out there got into his stuff early and kept the heart of the Dodgers order quiet — that's the ballgame.
03
hot take
Dodgers are 40-23 and still leave you wondering if the bullpen holds up in October. Run prevention isn't there.
04
deep cut
Arizona's now 33-29 and somehow keeps hanging around in the division — Chase Field has quietly been a tough place to play this year.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Dodgers bounce back tonight — getaway day, short rest, could get weird.
The recap
Diamondbacks pulled off a tight 3-2 win over the Dodgers at Chase Field, knocking off the best record in the NL West in a one-run nail-biter. Arizona's pitching kept the heart of the order quiet all night, and the bullpen slammed the door late when LA finally started squaring balls up.
The Dodgers had every chance to leave the yard and never did — that's the story of the game. Diamondbacks climb to 33-29 and steal a little momentum heading into the rest of the series.
