The Los Angeles Dodgers have been on a roll lately, and their winning streak has now extended to 11 games. The streak was extended thanks to a 5-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night, where catcher Austin Barnes hit his first home run in nearly a year.
Barnes, who had been struggling at the plate for most of the season, hit a solo shot in the sixth inning to give the Dodgers a 4-2 lead. It was his first home run since June 11th of last year, and it was a much-needed boost for the team.
The Dodgers have been on fire lately, winning 11 straight games and 16 of their last 17. They are now tied with the Atlanta Braves for the best record in the National League at 28-14.
The team has been getting contributions from all over the lineup, with Barnes’ home run being just one example. The Dodgers have also been getting strong performances from Max Muncy, Justin Turner, and Cody Bellinger, who have all been hitting well over the past few weeks.
The Dodgers are looking to keep their winning streak alive and continue their strong start to the season. With Barnes’ home run providing a much-needed spark, the team looks poised to keep their momentum going as they look to make a run at the NL West title.
