LOS ANGELES >> Love was in the air at Dodger Stadium on Thursday night.
An outpouring of fan support got Justin Turner an invitation to the All-Star Game. Manager Dave Roberts’ daughter, Emme, sang the National Anthem on her dad’s bobblehead night and his son, Cole, threw a ceremonial first pitch to him.
Hours later, the Dodgers dispensed some tough love, rallying for four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to hand the Arizona Diamondbacks a 5-4 defeat.
“It was a perfect day,” Dave Roberts said. “The way it started with my daughter singing the anthem and my son throwing a strike to me and winning in that fashion — it was a perfect day.
