Catcher Austin Barnes followed with a two-run double and a third run scored on an error by Nashville left fielder Alden Carrithers for a 3-2 Dodgers lead.

Barnes stole third base and scored on a sacrifice fly by first baseman O'Koyea Dickson for a 4-2 Dodgers advantage in the third inning.

Second baseman Hector Olivera went 4-for-5 and scored one run for the Dodgers, while Barnes finished the day 2-for-3 with two RBI. Barnes also scored one run and picked up his sixth stolen base of the season.

Dodgers starting pitcher Deck McGuire (2-2) earned his second win with Oklahoma City, allowing two runs on six hits. He did not issue a walk and struck out seven over seven innings.
