LOS ANGELES — The starting pitchers for the Los Angeles Dodgers did not allow a run in the past two games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and another left-hander will try to maintain that streak when Rich Hill takes the mound on Thursday in the finale of the three-game series at Dodger Stadium.
Clayton Kershaw and Alex Wood each threw seven shutout innings as the first-place Dodgers beat the second-place Diamondbacks 4-3 on Tuesday and 1-0 on Wednesday to extend their lead over Arizona to 4 1/2 games in the National League West.
“Guys like that, you feel really good when they take the mound,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of his lefties.
