Ross Stripling got any talks of a no-hitter out of the way right away, as Jean Segura hit a leadoff single to start the game. Stripling had a second consecutive great outing, as he held the Diamondbacks to two runs and six baserunners in six innings. Stripling barely won the fifth starter spot after everyone got injured, so for him to put up two great outings to start his Dodger career is great to see.
For a while, it looked like the Dodgers were going to frustratingly lose another Stripling outing, as they could not get anything going off Diamondback starter Robbie Ray.
