Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks

For the second straight night, closer Edwin Díaz faltered with a one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning. But on Saturday night, it did not sink the Dodgers. After a winless week, the Dodgers were at last able to put their season-high losing streak to bed with a 2-1 victory in 10 innings at Chase Field. A Shohei Ohtani RBI infield single was the difference maker as L.A. ended its skid at seven games, matching the team's longest slide since July 2025. "Man, that was a tough one," manager Dave Roberts said. "We’ll take it." By coming through in extras, the Dodgers avoided losing eight straight games in which they led at least once. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, only three teams in MLB history have had such a streak: the 1876 Cincinnati Red Stockings, the 1949 Boston Braves and the 1983 Seattle Mariners. The middle game of the weekend series began as a pitchers' duel between Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Brandon Pfaadt. Yamamoto grinded through 5 2/3 innings on 107 pitches, while Pfaadt held the Dodgers to a pair of infield singles -- both by Andy Pages -- and a walk in seven innings.
