Jason Heyward and James Outman hit back-to-back home runs in the sixth as the Dodgers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-4 to extend their NL West lead.
The Dodgers are hoping rest in August will have J.D. Martinez ready for October. Los Angeles placed the designated hitter on the injured list Tuesday with groin tightness, and expect him to be sidelined for several weeks. Manager Dave Roberts said Martinez has been affected by lingering pain and the team felt the only remedy was for him to stop playing completely.
