The Los Angeles Dodgers saw a large lead evaporate as their young relievers again struggled to finish out a game, but the end result still was a 9-8 victory that completed a series sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Justin Turner opened the scoring in the third inning with RBI single, which was followed by Albert Pujols lining a three-run homer to left field. It was Pujols’ 673rd home run of his career and sixth since signing with the Dodgers. Steven Souza Jr.’s RBI triple capped off the five-run inning.
Tony Gonsolin then sparked a rally with his leadoff double in the fourth and along with Chris Taylor, scored two batters later on AJ Pollock’s extra-base hit.
