Walker, Marte homer as Diamondbacks beat Dodgers
LOS ANGELES — Ryne Nelson threw 5 shutout innings, Christian Walker and Ketel Marte homered and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-0 on Wednesday night time to win a sequence at Dodger Stadium for the primary time since 2018.
“We know how good we can play,” Nelson said. “If we go out there and bring our game, then these are the kind of results that we’ll get.”
The Diamondbacks took the ultimate two video games from the NL West-leading Dodgers, who had been outscored 17-9 within the three-game set and dropped two in a row for simply the second time since April 21. They had been shut out for the third time this season, all in sequence finales.
“You got the team that’s racing ahead in the NL West and we win two of three. Yeah, we should feel good about it, but we can’t take things for granted,” Diamondbacks supervisor Torey Luvollo mentioned. “We did a lot right — we executed, we were focused and that’s why we won games.”
Nelson (3-3) took over from opener Brandon Hughes and allowed 5 hits, struck out 5 and walked three.
The Dodgers’ energy trio of Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman had been a mixed 2 of 11 with three strikeouts.
“We just got to flush this series,” Dodgers supervisor Dave Roberts mentioned.
Gabriel Moreno walked and Kevin Newman singled earlier than Corbin Carroll’s two-strike triple to proper off Tyler Glasnow (6-3) within the fifth. Carroll scored on Glasnow’s wild pitch — his eighth of the season — that bounced in entrance of the plate, off the left shoulder of catcher Will Smith and down the third-base line, giving Arizona a 3-0 lead.
Carroll made a stellar leaping catch of Betts on the wall in centre to open the underside of the primary.
“My mom just sent me a video that they got me eating seeds (on the play), so I thought that was kind of funny,” he mentioned. “You don’t want them to get momentum early, get the stadium involved.”
Glasnow had his first balk since 2018 within the third. The right-hander gave up three runs and 4 hits in 5 innings. He struck out six and walked one.
Walker greeted Dodgers reliever Elieser Hernández with a shot that traveled midway up the left-field pavilion main off the sixth, his twenty second profession homer towards the Dodgers. The first baseman had a solo shot in a 7-3 win Tuesday.
Marte singled within the first and homered off the left-field foul pole within the eighth, extending Arizona’s result in 5-0 and his private hitting streak to 21 video games, the longest within the majors this season.
“He’s locked in and he’s wanting to show people how good of a player he is,” Luvollo mentioned. “He continues to prove it to us every single day. The home run was just a pure swing. Really nice day for him.”
Walker doubled and scored from third on a handed ball by Smith.
The D-backs final received a sequence in Los Angeles on April 13-15, 2018. It was their first shutout win right here since April 2017.
The Dodgers left at the least one runner on by means of the primary six innings of their thirteenth recreation in as many days. They had six hits and had been 0 for 8 with runners in scoring place.
