In the third inning, the Diamondbacks scored four runs, all on solo homers. Geraldo Perdomo, Ketel Marte, Christian Walker, and Gabriel Moreno each went deep, with the latter two going back-to-back with two outs in the frame.

Brandon Pfaadt got the start and had a rather short leash - he was yanked after allowing just two hits in 4.1 innings, but he kept one of the best offenses in baseball scoreless.

But the bullpen didn't keep things easy. In the seventh inning, the Dodgers got the lead run to the plate after back-to-back two-out RBI singles, but Austin Barnes grounded out to end the threat. L.A. led off the eighth inning with a walk, but Kevin Ginkel struck out both Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman before getting J.D. Martinez to fly out to end the inning. The tying run also came to the plate in the top of the ninth, but closer Paul Sewald shut the door to finish the series.

Small ball lovers, look away: teams that out-homer their opponents are now 13-1 this postseason.
