This season, the Dodgers are arguably the best team in baseball. Nevertheless, they lost about a third of their games played. In the previous series between these teams, the Dodgers swept the Diamondbacks, scoring 14 runs while allowing 6 runs.
In the second game of that series, the score (2-3) was close. That game had four could-have moments that could have made a difference.
- First moment was top of the second inning, runners on the corners with one out. On a fly ball the center, Peralta tagged and ran half-way to home.
