The Los Angeles Dodgers hit four fly balls to the warning track and ran themselves out of the sixth inning, but still managed to pull away late for a 6-1 win over the Chicago White Sox. The victory put the Dodgers 50 games over .500 for the first time since 1953.
Alex Wood’s first pitch of the game was deposited into the left-field pavilion by Tim Anderson. The leadoff home run was the fourth of Anderson’s career. Jose Abreu and Kevan Smith each singled in the first inning but were left at the corners.
Wood proceed to allow one hit in the second, fourth and seventh innings.
