Hyun-jin Ryu
A couple of replay challenges helped the Dodgers put up six runs in the fourth inning as they beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 9–5 at Chase Field on August 26. Kershaw picked up his 16th win of the season the following day, and Kenley Jansen recorded his 100th career save as the Dodgers won 3–1 to sweep the brief two game series. The team then dropped the opening of a series against the Padres at Petco Park, 3–2 in 12 innings. In the second game, the team squandered a strong start by Zack Greinke and lost again in extra innings, on a walk-off hit by Alexi Amarista in the 10th inning. Hyun-jin Ryu came off the disabled list on August 31 and pitched seven strong innings and Adrián González had four hits as the Dodgers avoided the sweep with a 7–2 win.
