It’s never a chore to #BeatLA, and of course I would be perfectly fine with nineteen games finishing in this score during the regular season. But it would be a more satisfying win, if the Diamondbacks hadn’t scored all five runs in the seventh inning, after most of the Dodgers’ regulars were out of the game, and off a pitcher with zero experience above the Double-A level. At the stretch, Arizona were 2-0 down, having managed just two hits and a walk through the front six innings. Clayton Kershaw, for example, faced the minimum over his four frames. The only Diamondback to reach base was Carson Kelly, who led off the bottom of the first with a single, only to be erased one out later on a Christian Walker double-play.
