Although it was Olmedo Saenz walk-off pinch single in the ninth inning led the Dodgers towards victory but the real man behind this success is Andre Ethier, whose unwise advice to Saenz worked effectively.
Still in resurgence from Sunday’s 17-inning long-drawn-out game, the Dodgers were an out away from more additional innings when Olmedo ransacked a Brandon Lyon fastball into center field to get Rafael Furcal for a bounced back win after Monday night’s eight-run loss.

Saenz said he was sufficiently goaded to turn out the lights, and not just for the reason that it brought back team to first place. D-backs also played really well, Penny threw six shutout innings but unfortunately his efforts couldn’t head the team towards success.
For now, truth is the Dodgers are back in position.
