After a night where the D-Backs were dominated by the Dodgers Zach Greinke they knew for sure more turbulence was ahead facing Dodgers Ace Clayton Kershaw. Well the D-Backs might have been looking at the Photo of the Dodgers jumping in that Pool out in CF after they clinched in 2013 as the D-Backs came out biting everything in blue!

Behind All-Star and 2013 NL M.V.P. Runner-Up Paul Goldschmidt's Night of 4 for 5 with five runs scored and six ribbies including a three-run HR and a two-run HR then D-Backs hung a crooked 18 on the "Boys in Blue".  Chris Owings, Eric Chavez, and A.J. Pollock all went Solo Shots. Arizona chased 2013 NL CY Young Winner Clayton Kershaw in the 2nd with the onslaught. D-Backs Starter Chase Anderson didn't have to do much going 5 1/3 innings giving up five runs on seven hits and two Bombs for the win!  

Kershaw's Line was 1 1/3 innings allowing six hits and seven runs walking two and striking out three. Now of those Bombs were on his watch but it was evident the Dodgers Pitching Staff wasn't ready as Clayton surprised even them. Puig 66 went Two-Run HR and Carl Crawford Three-Run HR as A-Gon, Kemp, and Uribe each had two hits.

The D-Backs amassed 21 hits, 18 runs, 5 HRs, and collected 48 Totals Bases....yikes. With this being 1 of 162 Arizona is still 17-28 and the Dodgers 23-21 as HOF Tony LaRussa gets the D-Backs President's Gig with this being his first day in Office...Tony jump in that pool!
