Dodgers Postgame: Dodgers Blow Late Lead in Tie With Angels

Ryan Ward played the role of hero for the Dodgers.

The Los Angeles Dodgers had a three-run lead heading into the bottom of the eighth inning and saw it evaporate on 12 pitches, resulting in a 7-7 tie against the Los Angeles Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Tyler Glasnow started on the bump for the first time as a Dodger this spring and gave up one run in just under two innings of work.

The starting lineup for the Dodgers had six of the team's eight hits but could find the timely ones to score runs. 

With the Dodgers down 4-2 in the top of the eighth, Jose Ramos blasted a solo shot to left that ignited a rally, scoring five runs in the inning.

Ryan Ward knocked a double to right that cleared the bases and gave the Dodgers a 7-4 lead, but Lucas Wepf blew the lead in the bottom half of the inning.
