I'm not much of a pure RBI guy, but Justin Turner has 50 RBI in his past 56 1/3 games. That's amazing.

The Dodger bats were not done yet, however, because in the bottom of the 7th Yasmani would smash a solo shot into the visiting team’s bullpen!

Of course, no need to worry Dodger fans! Kenley would be called upon to close things out and he’d do just that! Dodgers win 3-2!
