On the mound: Kenta Maeda started, giving up two runs and two hits in two innings, with the Dodgers committing two errors behind him. … Brock Stewart relieved Maeda and endured an awful fourth inning, giving up five runs on two hit batters, a bases-loaded walk, a double and a grand slam by National League MVP Kris Bryant. … The Dodgers scored two of their three runs against the oft-injured Brett Anderson, who started 31 games for the Dodgers in 2015 and three in 2016.
