The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Arizona Diamondbacks in Tuesday’s doubleheader with a 7–6 rally in the afternoon win, and a 12–3 domination in the nightcap—improving their record to 24–12, and maintain a one game lead in the National League West over San Diego.

Mookie Betts’ form is returning after recovering from a nagging hip injury through 2021, raising his batting average from .171 in the first 10 games of the season to .263. Betts now leads the league with 32 runs scored this season.
