LOS ANGELES >> Sated by Clayton Kershaw’s mastery and Justin Turner’s electability, most Dodger Stadium fans barely noticed it Tuesday night when Arizona gave Chris Taylor a 90-foot ramp and Taylor took it. It was the eighth inning. Kershaw’s no-hitter through six-and-a-third innings was gone. Turner had homered and driven in the first run with a single. Fireworks were imminent. The Dodgers were up 3-0 and all was copacetic. Taylor stole third with lefty Jorge De La Rosa pitching. “He had slow times,” Taylor explained. The Diamondbacks’ infield came in and Yasmani Grandal guided a base hit through a hole that might not have been there otherwise.
