After being shut out by the Giants last night, the Dodgers avoided the sweep to their rivals with help from Matt Beaty, Corey Seager and Kenta Maeda today.
“It was finally nice to play a clean game of baseball.” – Corey Seager to Alanna Rizzo
Julio Urías started the game, but got in trouble in the first with the Giants putting men at the corners, but was able to get out with no damage. Kenta was brought in early to relive and proceeded to give up only one hit to Buster Posey over 4 innings while giving up no walks and striking out 6 Giants.
Matt Beaty came up in the bottom of the 4th with Cody Bellinger and launched a 430 foot shot to the right field seats.

Corey Seager came in later and hit one of his own to dead center at 392 feet.

“he [Rodriguez] was beating me up all day with changeups. It was nice to finally hit one.” – Corey Seager to Alanna Rizzo
The Dodgers sent out Sadler, Yimi, Kolarek and Sborz to close out the last 3 innings of the game.
With the win and a Diamondbacks loss today, the Dodgers magic number is now at 2.
Next up are the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.
