LOS ANGELES—Another productive first inning and 5 1/3 innings from Zac Gallen lifted the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4–2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday and a 2–0 lead in the best-of-five National League Division Series.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a run-scoring single in a three-run opening inning and later homered as the Diamondbacks moved one victory away from their first appearance in the National League Championship Series since 2007. Game 3 will be played in Phoenix on Wednesday.
