The Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 11-6, on Sunday.
“We went out and we put a lot of pressure on their starting pitcher,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “I'm a firm believer in momentum and once that tide starts, we've gotta be ready to take advantage of that. And we did that today.”
The Diamondbacks added three more runs in the third, buoyed by a pair of stolen bases. After another three-spot in the fourth, they used a double steal to help get two runs across in the fifth. On the back end of the play was Herrera sliding into second with the first stolen base of his career. In the recent past, the chasm between these teams has been evident in their demeanor. The Dodgers have been the team that scores at will, dancing on the basepaths and celebrating in the dugout. The Diamondbacks have been the team that trudges around, heads down, desperate for nine innings to be up.“It was like the first time I've ever played the Dodgers where it felt like they could feel the pressure,” Rojas said. “And there was nothing really they could do about it.
