PHOENIX -- The Dodgers lost two of three to the D-backs in their first meeting this season. In that series, the Dodgers made some uncharacteristic errors. Maybe it served as a wake-up call that Arizona, the team that finished last in the National League West last season, was a bit improved in 2022.

Since then, the Dodgers have overwhelmed the D-backs with their talent. With a 3-1 win on Sunday afternoon at Chase Field, Los Angeles completed a four-game sweep and has won eight consecutive games against Arizona. During the winning streak, the Dodgers have outscored the D-backs by 32 runs (55-23).

The Dodgers went 8-2 during the 10-game road trip against the Phillies, Nationals and D-backs, collecting their most wins during a single trip since 1997.

“You looked at this schedule and it’s daunting,” said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. “This is something we kind of penciled in and knew it was going to be a long stretch for us, and this road trip, specifically. I’m not surprised with how we approached each day; but to look back for a second and say, 'We went 8-2,' that’s fantastic.”

It didn’t take long for the Dodgers to get on the board on Sunday. Will Smith got the best of Zach Davies in a 12-pitch at-bat that ended with the designated hitter connecting for an opposite-field homer, his fifth of the season. Smith fouled off six consecutive pitches, including five sinkers, during the plate appearance.

In the third, Freddie Freeman and Trea Turner each drove in a run. Turner extended his Majors-best hitting streak to 21 games with a single in the sixth. The star shortstop has played in 99 games with the Dodgers since being acquired from the Nationals, and has put together hitting streaks of 27, 20 and 16 games.

Five-time All-Star Freeman continued his dominance with runners on base. With his RBI single in the third, Freeman is hitting .466 (34-for-73) with 28 RBIs when he comes up with runners on base.

“It’s big,” Freeman said of the team’s impressive trip. “If you can win every series in a three-city trip, that’s huge. For us to sweep the last one in a four-game series and go 8-2 with a couple East Coast trips in there, that’s big.”

Though three runs don’t seem like much, given how the Dodgers' offense has been hitting lately, it turned out to be plenty for left-hander Tyler Anderson, who continues to step up as a member of the starting rotation.

Anderson allowed five hits and struck out six over six scoreless innings. The left-hander has now thrown 20 consecutive scoreless frames and has a 0.86 ERA over his last three starts. Anderson didn’t get many swings-and-misses on Sunday, but he didn’t give up much hard contact, either, limiting the D-backs to just five hard-hit balls, according to Statcast.

In Anderson’s two starts against the D-backs this season, he has allowed two runs and has punched out 13 over 13 innings.

“I’m just trying to stay in the strike zone and get ahead and trust our defense to make plays behind us,” Anderson said. “They’ve just kind of encouraged me to do things that I like to do, and they have a lot of trust in me. That goes a long way as a player.”

Much like fellow starter Tony Gonsolin, Anderson has delivered exactly what the Dodgers have needed over the last week. With Clayton Kershaw and Andrew Heaney sidelined, the Dodgers are operating with four traditional starters in their rotation. They needed Anderson to be solid. He has answered with one of the best stretches of his career.

“This guy made pitches when he needed to,” Roberts said of Anderson. “He sequences really well. He changes arm angles and I love his pace of play. It keeps the defense involved. I can’t say enough about him.”
