It was Peters’ second home run of the game.

ON THE MOUND: Dodgers left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu gave up one hit in a scoreless inning.

EXTRA BASES: Baseball’s newly incorporated pitch clock did not have much of an effect on speeding up Sunday’s game; it lasted 3 hours and 40 minutes as the teams combined for 23 hits, 12 walks, and three errors.

UP NEXT: The Dodgers will host a Chicago Cubs split squad at 1:05 p.m. Monday at Camelback Ranch. Brock Stewart is slated to start for Los Angeles. Radio: AM 570.
