Diamondbacks jump all over another Dodgers starter and beat LA 4-2 for a 2-0 lead in NLDS

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — Not many people picked the Arizona Diamondbacks to beat Milwaukee in the NL Wild Card Series. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and the Diamondbacks made quick work of another Dodgers starter, beating Los Angeles 4-2 on Monday night behind Zac Gallen for a 2-0 lead in their NLDS. “We’ve got to make some type of adjustments and we have no more margin.” Gallen allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings for his second win of the postseason. “It was good for us just mentally to come in here and set the tone, have a little faith in ourselves.” The early outburst came two nights after Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw was tagged for six runs while getting only one out during Arizona’s 11-2 rout in Game 1. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, two of the team’s four 100-RBI players, were a combined 1 for 13 with three walks and a strikeout in the first two games of the series.
