Recap: McCarthy Goes 6 Scoreless Innings in 2-1 Loss Against Diamondbacks

The Dodgers offense was alive and well in Friday’s game where they scored 13 runs in a 13-7 victory over the Diamondbacks! Unfortunately, the bats were no where to be found in Saturday’s game. McCarthy put on a beautiful performance but the offense could not support him in a 2-1 loss against the Diamondbacks.
