Arizona manages only eight runs in four games as LA wins 3-1 in Phoenix on Sunday.
Associated Press PHOENIX — Manager Dave Roberts admits he winced a little when the Dodgers' schedule came out and he saw a 10-game road stretch in mid-to-late May that included lengthy trips to Philadelphia, Washington and Arizona.Tyler Anderson threw six effective innings, Will Smith added a solo homer and Los Angeles swept a four-game series from the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 3-1 win Sunday.
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. “He's been pretty incredible,” Freeman said about Anderson. “He throws strikes, he pounds the zone. That changeup, I've faced it, and it's not fun, especially when he's got the 92-93 fastball working like he did today.”
Turner at 21Turner pushed his hitting streak to 21 games with a single in the sixth. It's the longest current hitting streak in the majors.

Weather's unwanted guest: Nasty La Nina keeps popping upIt’s becoming the nation’s unwanted weather guest and meteorologists said the West’s megadrought won’t go away until La Nina does. The current double-dip La Nina set a record for strength last month and is forecast to likely be around for a rare but not quite unprecedented third straight winter. Scientists are noticing that in the past 25 years the world seems to be getting more La Ninas than it used to and that is just the opposite of what their best computer model simulations say should be happening with human-caused climate change.
