"The Dodgers jumped out in front to an early lead when Shohei Ohtani hit a leadoff triple and scored on a sacrifice fly from Mookie Betts in the first inning. Ohtani thought he had a homer, but his ball traveled to one of the deepest parts of the ballpark and hit off the top of the center field wall. The Diamondbacks answered back in the first inning, with Ketel Marte starting their rally with a leadoff double."
"Blake Snell turned in another strong start, continuing a trend for Dodgers' starting pitchers, He tossed six innings of one-run ball with just five hits allowed while adding five strikeouts to one walk. After allowing the run in the first inning, Snell provided the Dodgers with five consecutive shutout innings to exit with the lead. Roki Sasaki made his return to the Dodgers, entering as a reliever following Snell."
"Sasaki consistently sat 99 mph with his fastball and showed off his elite splitter to toss a perfect inning. He struck out two batters and also forced a weak ground out while recording three whiffs. The Dodgers added some insurance in the eighth inning with an RBI-triple from Teoscar Hernández. He drove in Mookie Betts, who reached on a single."
The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 in extra innings despite late bullpen struggles.

The Diamondbacks tied the game in the first on a Ketel Marte double and a Gabriel Moreno sacrifice fly. Andy Pages hit a two-run homer in the fourth to put Los Angeles ahead. Blake Snell delivered six strong innings, and Roki Sasaki impressed in relief. Teoscar Hernández added an RBI triple, but the bullpen again allowed runners and damage late.
