This game was extremely slow and not very highlights-filled; however, the saying “quality over quantity” definitely applies! The only real offense of the game would come off the bat of Justin Turner who would hit a solo shot in the bottom of the fourth!

Those two really embody the highlights! In other cool news, Actor Zac Efron was in attendance at the Dodger game and Chase Utley made an incredible play at 2nd!

The highlights could not be complete without mentioning the equally phenomenal performance from the bullpen. Baez, Liberatore, Blanton, and Jansen would follow up Rich Hill’s amazing performance to complete the shutout! Dodgers win 1-0!
#Dodgers take a 3 game division lead on @redturn2's solo shot & a shutout from Hill, Baez, Liberatore, Blanton & Jansen.
