Kemp puts Dodgers in tie with Diamondbacks for NL West lead

The Los Angeles Dodgers moved level with the Arizona Diamondbacks in the MLB National League West thanks to a 3-2 victory on Saturday.

The Dodgers were five outs away from falling back to two games out of the NL West lead but Matt Kemp prevented that.

Down 2-0 with runners on first and second with one out in the eighth, Kemp took a curveball from Diamondbacks reliever Archie Bradley deep to give the Dodgers a 3-2 lead.

Kenley Jansen then came in and shut the door for the Dodgers to give LA the victory and put them in a tie with the Diamondbacks for first place in the NL West.
