Freeman stays hot and so do the Dodgers, who beat the Diamondbacks 5-4 -
All-Star rookie Corbin Carroll was up next and hit a chopper down the first-base line to Freeman, who wheeled and fired to Amed Rosario for the second out. Rosario then hit Freeman with the return throw for the final out. The Dodgers were helped by the fact that the speedy Carroll didn’t immediately take off for first because he thought the ball was foul.
Said Carroll: “There’s no excuse for it. Got to run hard out of the box. Taking you through my mindset, I thought the initial bounce was foul. That’s kind of what I saw.”The Dodgers looked as if they might cruise to the victory early on. They pushed their lead to 4-0 in the fifth after back-to-back RBI doubles from Betts and Freeman and a sacrifice fly by Max Muncy.Freeman is 20 of 38 over his last nine games, boosting his batting average to .343 for the season.
Arizona started its comeback in the eighth, cutting the margin to 4-2 on back-to-back, one-out RBI singles by Tommy Pham and Christian Walker. Brusdar Graterol struck out Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and retired Jace Peterson on a flyout to end the threat.The Diamondbacks are just 7-23 over their past 30 games - an extended freefall that has seriously damaged the team’s playoff hopes.
“Just feeling like myself, feeling my presence on the mound,” Urias said through a translator. “Being able to use all three pitches, navigate through the lineup, and making adjustments during the game, that’s where I want to be.”
