Just to get through that first inning, his pitch count got up a little bit but the next six were really clean. “I'm having a hard time coming up with adjectives to describe him and what he's done for us. “He was outstanding,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. He loaded the bases with two outs in the first but then struck out Jake Cronenworth. Urías held San Diego to two runs and five hits. All four hits were with guys on base today.” “When guys get on I just want to see them keep making left turns. “I'm just trying to be a good hitter and sometimes it goes over the fence,” Freeman said. Will Smith doubled and scored on Chris Taylor's single. Turner walked with one out in the seventh and was aboard for Freeman's homer to center field, his 19th. The Dodgers loaded the bases with no outs in the fifth against Blake Snell (6-9) and Turner cleared them with a double to center that gave the Dodgers a 4-1 lead. Turner tripled between rookie center fielder Jose Azocar and right fielder Juan Soto with two outs in the third and scored on Freeman's single to right. Freeman drove in Turner on three of his hits and finished a triple shy of the cycle.
