Dodgers Win Behind Wyatt as Mize, Young Lead Offense
John Mize opened the top half with a homer and Austin Bealmeas’s notes highlight Whitlow Wyatt's near no hit day as the Dodgers beat the Giants 2-1.

Wyatt earned his 15th victory, with the Dodgers taking a four game lead over idle St. Louis in the NL as Cincinnati and Philadelphia posted other results.
