The Los Angeles Dodgers did not look like themselves in their 5-to-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Will Smith was the offensive star for the Dodgers when he had a first-inning three-run double. The Dodgers constantly had scoring opportunities, but they had five double plays. Unusually, they did not run bases smartly.

A two-run error by Gavin Lux caused Tony Gonsolin more problems than he did not need. Gonsolin did not have a good command of his pitches. The Dodger bullpen mostly performed well even though Brusdar Graterol allowed a two-run homer by David Peralta. It was not a good game for the Dodgers.
