The crowd was nuts last night after the Dodgers jumped out to a 7-2 lead in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Diamondbacks, but things were considerably muted after a three-run homer cut the lead to 7-5. So as the Dodgers were rallying in the bottom of the seventh, Rich Hill turned around and held up a sign to the crowd, imploring them to ‘Make Some Noise’.
“It was a little subdued atmosphere,” Hill said. “We wanted to see everybody get into it a little more.” The crowd caught Hill’s drift. The cheers gathered in volume as the Dodgers mounted a rally.
