The Dodgers score eight runs in the first two innings of the second game and finish with a season-high 12 runs to extend their winning streak to four games.
LOS ANGELES — After the Dodgers won the first game of Tuesday’s split doubleheader, Mookie Betts was asked how he was going to spend the hours before the start of the second game. He planned to “go to sleep” and, frankly, he didn’t see why any teammate wouldn’t do the same.The Dodgers scored eight times in the first two innings Tuesday night and rode that early wake-up call to a 12-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks to complete their second doubleheader sweep in the past 11 days.
The double dip Tuesday, during which the Dodgers scored 19 runs, gives them’ a four-game winning streak – spun on a dime from last week’s four-game losing streak. The Diamondbacks actually drew first blood in Tuesday’s second game, touching Dodgers starter Tyler Anderson for back-to-back home runs by Jordan Luplow and Christian Walker with two outs in the first inning.
Anderson settled in after that, allowing only singles the rest of the way and only one more batter to reach second base as he went seven innings for the first time this season. Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly never got a chance to settle in. The first three Dodgers to face him reached base. A leadoff walk by Betts was followed by a Freddie Freeman double and a two-run single by Trea Turner.
