The Dodgers keep their undefeated start to the spring alive, improving to 5-0, as they defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks by a final score of 10-7 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Roki Sasaki made his spring debut, which was also his first start since May of last season. Sasaki struggled over 1 1\/3 innings of work, tossing 36 pitches with just 17 going for strikes. He gave up three runs on a pair of doubles from Nolan Arenado and Ildemaro Vargas while striking out three and walking two.<\/p>\n

River Ryan made his spring debut, completing a scoreless bottom of the third inning while collecting a strikeout and allowing a walk. Edwin D\u00edaz made his Dodgers debut, tossing a scoreless fourth inning while allowing a hit and picking up a strikeout. Will Klein followed D\u00edaz for his first appearance since his World Series heroics, also completing a scoreless inning of his own.<\/p>\n
Hyeseong Kim made his first start in center field this spring, robbing Pavin Smith of a hit with a sliding catch in the bottom of the first and making a nice running catch to end the fourth inning. He collected a pair of hits and stole two bases while also collecting his fourth RBI of the spring with a game-tying single in the top of the fifth inning.<\/p>\n
The Dodgers added an additional three runs in the fifth inning to take their first lead of the game. Alex Freeland and Jake Gelof both walked in a run, while Nick Senzel reached on a fielding error by Ildemaro Vargas to bring home a run.<\/p>\n

Outfield prospects Zyhir Hope and Kendall George added four insurance runs in the top of the seventh inning, with Hope driving in two on a ground-rule double and George reaching on an infield single, with an errant throw into the Dodgers dugout allowing two runs to score.<\/p>\n
The Dodgers are now averaging 8.8 runs per game, although they have to wait at least one more day to hit their first home run of the spring.<\/p>\n
