It was another hot one this afternoon, with the temperature measuring 100 degrees at game time. The bats of both teams were anything but, however, and this was a duel from the start. Fortunately, it was the Dodgers who prevailed in a closely contested game over the Angels this time, prevailing 3-1.

The Dodgers and Angels played four scoreless innings to start things off before the game actually got going a bit.
In the 5th, it ended up being the Dodgers stepping up to begin the scoring. Yasiel Puig led off with a sharp single to the left-center field gap and Enrique Hernandez followed by battling for a 10-pitch walk.
