  LOS ANGELES — After a run of 13 consecutive games did the Dodgers no favors, perhaps a five-city tour is more their speed.
  Even with Tyler Glasnow on the mound on Wednesday night, the Dodgers were overcome by the Arizona Diamondbacks in a 6-0 loss when the offense disappeared and a three-game series was squandered.
  The daunting top of the order of Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Will Smith went a combined 2 for 14 mostly against right-hander Brandon Hughes, who was coming
