Diamondbacks outfielder Jarrod Dyson is famously quoted as saying “That’s what speed do,” in relation to how his blazing pace affects the outcome of a given ballgame.

Dyson is also quoted as saying, “Speed wins ballgames,” and that’s exactly what happened on Wednesday at Chase Field.

Led by an all-around effort from Dyson, the Diamondbacks notched an 8-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers to claim a series victory over their first-place rivals.

“Me and Timmy Locastro,” Dyson said, “that’s our job is to get on base. Bring the energy and create havoc, get on base and in scoring position and play defense.
