Arizona Diamondbacks Lose Another Series to the Dodgers

The Diamondbacks’ 12-4 victory on Friday night had fans’ hopes up high for a series win. However, the Dodgers’ offense woke up the next two games.

The Diamondbacks have now lost four series straight to the divison-leading Dodgers, and have gone 2-10 since their last series win to them in early April.

Diamondbacks wasted no time in getting the bats going on Friday night. They absolutely lit Alex Wood up for a combined 6 runs in just 1.2 innings. For Alex Wood, it was the shortest start of his career.

The Diamondbacks’ red-hot offense went on to score a combined 10 runs through just two innings.

Paul Goldschmidt did what he does best against the Dodgers, and hit a towering home run. However, he wasn’t the hottest bat that night. Instead, it was Nick Ahmed. Ahmed went 4-4 with 3 RBIs and was just a triple shy of the cycle.

Robbie Ray got his first win since July as he went 5 innings allowing just 2 hits and no runs. The Dodgers’ only 4 runs of the game didn’t come until the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and that was off a grand slam by Justin Ruggiano.

The D-backs went on to win 12-4.
