Close Win Moves Dodgers to 70-69
The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 2-1, at Dodger Stadium. Ryan Klesko was recognized as player of the game for his performance. He went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times. The top prospect was a menace to Arizona all day. The Dodgers bumped their record to 70-69 with this latest triumph.

Los Angeles took a 2-1 lead on Klesko's 24th home run of the season. The solo home run, which he hit off Alex Fernandez in the bottom of the sixth, propelled Los Angeles to the win.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Klesko.
