The Los Angeles Dodgers didn’t just beat the Arizona Diamondbacks Monday – they also put in an almost flawless performance at the plate.
In their 8-4 road win, the Dodgers went a solid 10-for-34 at the plate. They also drew eight walks and a hit-by-pitch, in addition to one sacrifice fly.
Los Angeles’ lineup did not account for a single strikeout in the game, in any of their 44 combined plate appearances.
It was the first time this season that any MLB offense went without a strikeout, and the first time the Dodgers accomplished the feat since August 28, 2006. The Dodgers tied their own record for most plate appearances in a game without recording a strikeout. , although they went 11 innings when they did it once morest the San Francisco Giants on June 23, 2003.
On the other end of the spectrum, Monday provided a disappointing performance from the Diamondbacks’ pitching staff.
For the first team in franchise history, Arizona walked eight batters and struck out zero. They became the first team to do so since the Toronto Blue Jays in 2012, as noted by ArizonaSports.com.
Every Dodgers batter got on base Monday, seven of whom reached safely on a hit. Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, right fielder Teoscar Hernández and left fielder Kiké Hernández all turned in two-hit performances.
Second baseman Mookie Betts and third baseman Max Muncy were the only ones to not record a hit, though the former drew two walks and the latter was hit by a pitch and scored a run.
The Dodgers and D-Backs will resume their series on Tuesday. First pitch from Chase Field is scheduled for 9:40 PM ET.
