The Dodgers are 8-2 in their last 10 games and own the best record in Major League Baseball after Sunday's victory.
The veteran left-hander scattered five hits and has given up just two earned runs over his last 21 innings, spanning three starts that all ended in wins.
Smith pushed the Dodgers ahead 1-0 in the second, driving the 12th pitch of the at-bat into the Chase Field swimming pool that sits just behind the right-center field wall. The catcher's lengthy plate appearance started with two called strikes, three balls and then six foul balls before the solo shot that was his fifth homer of the season.
The Dodgers — who won despite just four hits — added two more runs in the third on Freddie Freeman's RBI single and Trea Turner's RBI groundout. That was more than enough for Anderson and the bullpen, which worked through the Arizona lineup with relative ease.It was a rough offensive series for the D-backs, who totaled eight runs over the four losses. Zach Davies took the loss, giving up three earned runs over 5 1/3 innings.
The Diamondbacks begin a three-game series at home with the Braves on Monday. Arizona will start RHP Zac Gallen while Atlanta will counter with RHP Spencer Strider .© 2022 The Associated Press.
