Torey Lovullo: "Brandon can execute and follow a game plan"
The D'Backs manager highlighted the skills his Wednesday starter has, he made no secret of the confidence he has in the young pitcher.
"To be able to position him the way we have, and just assume he'll go out there and execute, has been a great luxury for us," D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said. "It's good to know Brandon can execute, follow a game plan and make pitches."
Dave Roberts: "We have to change the script"
Disappointing could be an elimination of the Dodgers in divisional series, that's why their manager Dave Roberts calls for calm and thinks how to reverse the situation.
"We've won three games in a row. We're very familiar with this club," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "They're playing good baseball and we have to find a way to flip the script."

Arizona, the surprise factor in the National League
Who would have believed it, Arizona is just one game away from defeating two divisional champions in this postseason, first they dispatched Milwaukee in two games, and for now, they beat Los Angeles by 2-0, if they win this Wednesday they would complete their second sweep in the Playoffs and a 5-0 record in the postseason, something unthinkable for a team that nobody gave as an option to reach the National League Championship Series.
Dodgers against the wall
The Dodgers have no tomorrow, the D'Backs handed them two defeats at home, which were a cold water bath for the team led by Dave Roberts, the offense made the Los Angeles starting pitchers look really bad, which in the end would lead to the victory of the visitors.
Now, at Chase Field, the Los Angeles team will have to turn the situation around if they want to advance to the National League Championship Series.
