LOS ANGELES -- A two-run rally against relief pitcher Luis Avilan in the seventh inning lifted the Diamondbacks to yet another win over the low-scoring Dodgers. The 3-1 win in Wednesday’s series finale at Dodger Stadium was Arizona’s sixth win in as many tries against Los Angeles in the last nine days.
The Dodgers have lost six straight games and 11 of their last 12, while the Diamondbacks have won 13 straight. It’s not the best combination for lowering the Dodgers’ magic number to clinch their fifth consecutive National League West title.
