The Dodgers put their six-game winning streak on the line tonight in what was a dodgy matchup for them between Hyun-Jin Ryu, who was spot starting, and Carlos Martinez, who has been pitching like an ace in 2017. However, what it came down to was a late homer by Dexter Fowler off Ross Stripling that took down the Dodgers, 2-1.

Martinez was as advertised, looking dominant through five shutout innings over a red-hot offense, but the Dodgers eventually got to him in the 6th.
