Game Preview
The opening games of a crucial four-game set between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks have been intensely competitive, with the Dodgers emerging victorious and looking to widen their lead in the National League West during their Sunday afternoon game in Phoenix.
The Dodgers (82-54) have secured wins with scores of 10-9 and 8-6, pushing their division lead to six games over both the Diamondbacks and the San Diego Padres.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts reflected on the hard-fought victories, stating, "Both teams showed a lot of tenacity. It was a tough competition, and they really pushed us to the limit."
The highlight of the series included a historic start with Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman hitting back-to-back-to-back home runs to kick off a game, a first for the Dodgers. The decisive moment came from Tommy Edman, a recent addition from the St. Louis Cardinals, who hit a crucial two-run bloop single in the ninth.
Edman commented on his pivotal hit, "I managed to place it just right. It’s nice to finally make a significant contribution and help secure the win."
Los Angeles dominated with 16 hits, and alongside Edman, Ohtani and Freeman each added two RBIs. Ohtani’s home run, his 44th, kept him on track as he eyes an unprecedented 50-50 season.
The Dodgers finished August with a 19-8 record, winning their last four games and 10 of the last 12.
Conversely, the Diamondbacks (76-60) also had a strong August, going 18-9, though they stumbled at the end with four losses in their last five games, leaving them tied with the Padres for the top wild-card position in the NL.
Facing a four-game deficit at the series start, the Diamondbacks now need victories in the final two matchups to close the gap back to four games.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo acknowledged the team’s effort, "We gave it everything we had but fell just short."
Diamondbacks standout Corbin Carroll added excitement with an inside-the-park home run, marking his fifth homer in five games.
After conceding a three-run lead early, Arizona responded with four runs in the bottom of the first and continued to fight back throughout the game. Lovullo praised the team’s resilience, "Their determination and focus are incredible. Despite being down early, they rallied back and took care of business."
Arizona will have Brandon Pfaadt (8-7, 4.31 ERA) on the mound Sunday, seeking redemption after a rough outing against the New York Mets where he allowed eight runs. Pfaadt had a streak of five consecutive wins prior to that loss.
Pfaadt faced the Dodgers earlier in the season, earning a win by allowing two earned runs over six innings.
The Dodgers are expected to promote left-hander Justin Wrobleski (1-1, 4.68 ERA) from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Sunday’s game. His last major league appearance was a victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, despite giving up three home runs. He allowed four runs in five innings for his first big-league win.
