The Dodgers struggled with runners in scoring position, but an error from Nolan Arenado would help LA escape with a 4-2 victory.
With the win, the Dodgers move to within 1⁄2 a game back of first place.
The Dodgers used a two-out rally to get on the board in the first inning. Manny Machado singled, and Max Muncy followed with a walk. On a 1-0 pitch, Cody Bellinger doubled to right field, giving LA an early 1-0 lead.
After serving a two-game suspension, Yasiel Puig answered with a 463-foot home run in his first at-bat back, giving the Dodgers a two-run edge in the second.
