The Dodgers packed their hitting shoes on their nine-game road trip, beginning Friday night with a 13-7 win over the Diamondbacks, keyed by a career night from Chris Taylor to win the opener of a three-game weekend series.
The win was the fourth straight for the Dodgers, who are now averaging 5.18 runs per game with eight wins in 11 contests in July.
Taylor was 3-for-5 and drove in six runs, just the third Dodgers second baseman with at least six RBI in a game since 1913, and the first since the franchise moved to Los Angeles.
