Tony Gonsolin took an encouraging step forward as he continues to stretch out and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks, 8-4, to extend their winning streak to five games.
Heading into the matchup Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the target for Gonsolin was four innings or 60 pitches. The right-hander wound up exceeding both of those in one of his best outings of the season.
Gonsolin didn’t allow a baserunner until issuing a leadoff walk in the third inning, and held the Diamondbacks without a hit before Ketel Marte opened the fourth with a grounder that got through for a single.
