Dodgers starter Landon Knack gives up three home runs and the Diamondbacks score four more off reliever Nick Ramirez in the ninth to take a 9-3 win.
The Dodgers dugout sat in quiet dejection. Two rows behind it, a Dodgers fan rose to his feet and began bowing down his arms. Rounding the bases before them was the club’s new No. 1 enemy, a decent MLB slugger who, during trips to Dodger Stadium in recent years, suddenly performs like a cross of Barry Bonds and Babe Ruth. Once again, Christian Walker had the Dodgers number.
Both of Walker’s home runs Thursday came off rookie Dodgers starter Landon Knack. In the first inning, he followed a Joc Pederson home run with a solo blast of his own. In the third inning, Walker launched a two-run shot deep to left field, helping Arizona open a 4-0 lead. The most telling moment of Walker’s Dodgers dominance, however, might have come in the top of the fifth.
