Arizona Diamondbacks’ offense erupts early en route to series-opening win over Dodgers by José M. Ramiro [AZ Central]
Game 1 at Dodger Stadium this season went to the Diamondbacks, 9-5 over their Los Angeles rivals on a night that Arizona hit three home runs and overcame three home runs from Dodgers stars.
The Diamondbacks (26-22) built a 7-0 lead and made it stand, helped by a two-run shot for Geraldo Perdomo in top of the eighth inning. Perdomo tied his career mark for homers in a season with six, and with it ensured that every batter in the starting lineup got at least one.
