The Dodgers are four games ahead of the Diamondbacks going into this series, with the Diamondbacks ripping it up of late. Arizona has scored the most runs of any team in the majors (714), well ahead of the Dodgers' fourth-place run total of 662 (behind the Yankees and Orioles). That said, the Dodgers had a four-game divisional lead on Arizona on August 1...and still have a four-game divisional lead on the Snakes on August 30. So at least we have kept pace.
The Dodgers are 4-5 against the Snakes this year, including 2-1 at Chase Field. This is the last time we'll face the Diamondbacks this year. If we can even come away with a split, I'll be content.

Freddie first AB back goes yard for 2 runs.

Clayton needs to put his foot on the Snake necks and just throttle the bastards.
3-2 Dodgers. miggy ro with a rbi single
Crowd chanting 'Freddie' in that wretched Devil's Lair Park.
Oh nooooo!! Clayton left the field. Shit.
damn
If it's Clayton's left shoulder we just saw him make his last career pitch.
Traitor Joc is getting fat.
fuck yeah slappy!!
3 run hr
9-5 LA
SLAPPY!!! 3 run homer and boy did we need it!!!!
Huddy scares the absolute crap out of me these days.
#43
SHOHEI!!!! 43 and 43! History baby!
stop fucking around Banda. wtf
fuck
This was an agonizing game. Grindy win but just barely. 5 up on both the shit eaters behind us.
That. Was close.
I’m going to be hard pressed this weekend, so please don’t hesitate to help with lineups or conversation! Thanks guys!

slappy batting 5th. Luxy 6th
joe kelly and kershaw on ir
Ohtani-san!!
Mookie!!
holy shit Freddie!!!
Shohei scrapes the sky with his 44th homer to open the ballgame and Mookie launches one of his own and Freddie hits a third in a row to start the game.
@Spanky....My fault on Slappy and Luxy!
It's good to see Catman and Dustin May in the dugout.
looks like its gonna be a crazy one
@karen...its cool like that
fucking stupid. BOOOOOO
Stone sucks
HOLY CRAP. We won. 6 games up on the shit eaters.
HUGE win for the good guys!
Tommy Edman was huge
I also give Doc Roberts credit for making the old move to pull Smith in the top of the ninth, for a pinch runner in Chris Taylor. If that had backfired and we didn’t score and/or go to extras, with Barnes in the lineup, we are screwed. Taylor ends up scoring, and Phillips closes out the win. Great call, Doc!

THANKS SPANKY!!!
woohoo!! No Joe Davis ruining Ohtani homeruns with his crappy voice and dumb catchprases today. There is a god.
your welcome Karen 😁
you're. dammit
@Spanky....there ain't no other Vinny.
Do you know what the yellow ribbons are for?
fucking kiermeyer should have thrown the ball to second instead of home. he aint got no arm
yellow ribbon is for cancer awareness i think. lance Armstrong thing if i remember
Maybe Mark Pryor can come out and pitch.
goddamn! that's a wrap
They’re gonna let zero leaks hang and save the bullpen.
Fuck the bottom of the lineup in the second for striking out and stranding two runners with none on
Sorry: they’re gonna let wrobleski hang
Mookie and Freddie already pulled. White flag
Doc throwing in the towel awfully early. Maybe it's best with the bullpen and Freddie's finger. I can't believe I just said that but here we are.
Where are you guys? Have you bailed on me?? Just so you know it's now 12-3. So, I will focus on no shut out. Ohmmmm (meditating)
Sorry Karen. I’m off getting drunk
I was wondering when we were going to see Kiki pitch.
Final score 14-3.
@karen. i bailed at 1:59pm 50 minutes after the Dodgers bailed on their fans.
@Spanky.... hope this doesn't mean you are going to take one of your (well needed) 'breaks' from the Dodgers. We need you!!!!
@Saxy......we all needed to drink after that crap fest! Hope you're on board today (alcohol on hand).

Great play to get Traitor Joc in the DP
CT3 double
Frederick!!
Wow....Miggy going to second there surprised me
44 and 44 for Shohei!!
Two-out single for Perdomo, B5. Dodgers up 3-2. Corbin Carroll up.
Sorry I’m late guys! Have spent all morning on the road
Ohtani SB 45 and 46, both on a left-hander!
IBB to Betts—Rick Monday says Betts should take off for second
Freddie with a sacrifice fly!
4-1 LA
Shohei steals #45 and #46 and Freddie brings him home
Hey Saxy!!! Glad you made it!!
Two-out two-strike two-rbi single for Slappy!
6-1
slappy does good
6-1 LA
6-3 with Banda just barely getting that second out. Snakes still have a runner on
Banda almost had the K, but Slappy dropped it
Randall Grichuk at the plate, Anthony Banda on the mound—not feeling good here
Banda can’t cover first in time, so Grichuk reaches. Arizona now has the tying run at the plate
Dodgers messing with my emotions
Bottom of the order going really quickly here in the top of the eighth
MOOKIE!!! So solid!!
Mookie magic!!! Two-run double to score Taylor and Ohtani!
Freeman with an eight-pitch AB here in the top of the eighth...
Ninth pitch of the Freeman AB is a WP; Betts takes third
Freddie HOME RUN!!!
Freeman HR on the 11th pitch!
10-3 LA
FREDDIE!!! That home run was gone as soon as it hit the bat.
Teoscar singles, but doesn't get the cycle. He's 5-for-5 with three singles, a double, and a triple
Slappy with a single! That's five hits and a walk, all with two out in the eighth
Tommy Edman single! It's 11-3 LA
Rojas comes up for the second time this inning--Arizona relieves Slade Cecconi for Paul Sewald
11-3 LA, two out in the top of the eighth
Rojas Ks, so he's responsible for two of the three outs this inning.
11-3 LA, mid-8
Kike retired on one pitch in the ninth. Yay
Eugenio Suarez had a solo shot in the bottom of the eighth, so we go to the ninth 11-4 LA
CT3 just misses a HR but ends up striking out. Ohtani Ks as well.
We go to the bottom of the ninth, 11-4 LA
The turtlenecked Honeywell now has two outs but men on second and third. 11-4 LA
Josh Bell with a two-run single, so it's 11-6 LA. Close this game out, guys!
Pavin Smith now at the plate, with Bell advancing to second on defensive indifference.
FINALLY
WIN!
Three of four from the Diamondbacks. Amazing.
Way to go, Dodgers!
The Boys of Summer take this one 11-6.
I am so happy to have this series behind us.
5.5-game on SD (who is playing now); 6.0-game lead on the Snakes.
@karen: me too. I'll take it
