After dropping the first game of the key four-game series in frustrating fashion, the Dodgers tried to even the series against the Diamondbacks. The pitching was quality again, and the process of hitting the ball hard was actually solid early, but what they needed was results. Thankfully, they eventually got that with a pair of homers late in a 3-2 win.

Hyun-Jin Ryu‘s night started ominously, as three batters into the game the Dodgers were down 2-0 thanks to a Steven Souza infield single and Paul Goldschmidt dong down the line.
