Pavin Smith is back in the @Dbacks lineup after taking batting practice. He'll be in place of Tim Tawa. The new order is:
Marte, Carroll, Perdomo, Moreno, Smith, Arenado, Santana, Thomas, Lawlar.

OK, well things have gotten away from the @Dbacks here at Dodger Stadium. Dodgers have scored four runs so far in the seventh to blow this one open. Arizona trails 8-2.

Things spiraled quickly here at Dodger Stadium thanks to a 3-run HR by Andy Pages. @Dbacks was dominant through four, but he's out now with no outs and two on and Kyle Tucker coming up against Juan Morillo.

Listening to @Dbacks manager Torey Lovullo pregame it sure sounded like if there's a save situation tonight that Paul Sewald will get the ball.

The Dodgers have been aggressive early in the count against @Dbacks Zac Gallen tonight. He's only thrown 38 pitches through 3. We're still scoreless here at Dodger Stadium.

Pavin Smith has been scratched from the @Dbacks lineup due to left elbow soreness. Team does not believe it is serious at this point.
