Diamondbacks @ Dodgers May 20, 2025: Yamamoto looks to play stopper, Ohtani takes a step in his return to the mound
Briefly

The Dodgers suffered their fourth straight loss, losing 9-5 to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Starter Jack Dreyer faltered, and pitcher Landon Knack's difficulties with home runs persisted. The offense, despite hitting three homers off Brandon Pfaadt, struggled for hits overall. Today, ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto aims to halt the losing streak but is experiencing his own issues, having allowed eight runs over the last two outings.
