Final: Dodgers 8, Dbacks 0

#Dodgers are 20-13

Second shutout of the year for LAD, finishing this nine-game road trip with a 7-2 record

Yoshinobu Yamamoto's final line: 6 innings, 0 runs, 5 hits, 2 walks, 5 strikeouts

Since his disastrous debut in Korea, he has given up just six earned runs in his last six starts, with 40 strikeouts in 33 innings

His ERA on the season is down to 2.91

J.P. Feyereisen is here and has been activated for tonight. Landon Knack was optioned

That latter move probably bodes well for Walker Buehler returning to the rotation next week. Dave Roberts said he was optimistic that would be the case, but that there’s no final decision yet

Entering today, teams that struck out 18+ batters and allowed two or fewer runs in a nine-inning game were 53-1 (since 1901).

The Angels have made that record 53-2 with an 18-strikeout, two-run performance in a losing effort today and join the 2015 Mets.

Shohei Ohtani not in #Dodgers lineup vs. #DBacks tonight.

From Jack Harris: The Dodgers bullpen was turning a corner. Now, a spate of injuries has cut into its depth latimes.com/sports/dodgers…

To bee or not to bee ... that was the question ...

Also, an important clarification: The bees were not killed. They were treated with a non-pesticidal solution and taken off-site

Walker Buehler saved his best for what he hopes is his last minor league rehab start, the #Dodgers RHP giving up one ER and seven hits in five innings, striking out five and walking none for triple-A OKC vs. Salt Lake on Tuesday. Next stop: LAD rotation. bit.ly/3xXhDdw

#Angels announce they have signed veteran OF Kevin Pillar, 35, to a one-year, $740,000 contract. A great defensive replacement for injured CF Mike Trout.

#Dodgers RHP Walker Buehler's sixth rehab stint is complete. He gave up one earned run and seven hits, struck out five and walked none in five innings for triple-A OKC vs. Salt Lake. Threw 75 pitches, 54 for strikes. First-pitch strikes to 16 of 21 batters. Top fastball 94.6 mph.

It’s a torn meniscus, Angels GM Perry Minasian shuts announced. No timetable right now.

NEWS: Mike Trout needs surgery on his knee, sources tell me and Jeff Passan. The extent is not known, but a source said it is not expected to be season-ending.

Story shortly on ESPN.

Final: Dodgers 8, Dbacks 4

#Dodgers are 19-12

Dave Roberts' signature piece of advice is to 'move the ball forward.' LAD heeded that literally tonight, striking out zero times (in 44 plate appearances) for the first time since 2006

Gus Varland has been activated

–– The team has not yet decided if Walker Buehler's rehab start tomorrow will be his last. They want to want and see how it goes/how he feels

'I don't want to put any extra expectation on Walker. Go out there, pitch well, get out of it healthy and then we'll make the next move.'

–– The team has gotten positive reports on Blake Treinen's rehab stint (both with how he's feeling, and how he has pitched). His next minor league outing will be Wednesday, so he probably remains at least a week away from returning
