The Diamondbacks’ Christian Walker had more success at Dodger Stadium, but his team continued to struggle there.
LOS ANGELES — For the Diamondbacks, trips to Dodger Stadium are like visits to the dentist, the department of motor vehicles and Costco on a weekend rolled into one — only worse. They are nightmarish, each trip seemingly worse than the last.
For Walker, it was nothing new. While his teammates largely have struggled here, he has flourished. In 22 career games at Dodger Stadium, Walker is 20 for 62 with eight homers and six walks. His on-base is .391, his slugging .742. Walker sort of put himself on the map in the majors with his success against Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw, homering four times in his first 10 at-bats against him over his first two seasons in the majors.
The momentum quickly shifted. After a leadoff single, the Dodgers’ Mookie Betts blasted a first-pitch cutter out to left for a game-tying homer. Two batters later, Trea Turner turned on a fastball, launching it into the left-field seats. “This is where I’ve got to make some adjustments,” Lovullo said. “I’ve got to probably recognize where he’s running out of gas. I think I was watching the game and thinking he could get through certain parts of that lineup. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen.”
