Dodgers snap seven-game skid, defeat Diamondbacks in 10 - ESPN
PHOENIX — Shohei Ohtani brought home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning on an infield single and the Los Angeles Dodgers snapped a seven-game losing streak by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-1 on Saturday night.
The Dodgers won despite Edwin Diaz blowing his second consecutive save after losing a 1-0 lead in the ninth.
Los Angeles rallied with two outs in the 10th when Hunter Feduccia walked and automatic runner Kyle Tucker moved to third on a wild pitch. Ohtani followed with a grounder to the right side that first baseman Tim Tawa dove to knock down but couldn't recover to record an out.
Jack Dreyer earned his first save of the season, getting the final two outs by fielding a comebacker from Ryan Waldschmidt and starting a double play.

The Diamondbacks trailed 1-0 entering the ninth, but Geraldo Perdomo and Corbin Carroll connected for back-to-back triples off closer Diaz to tie it. Diaz recovered to retire the next three batters, stranding Carroll at third to send the game to extra innings.
Tucker hit a solo homer to break a scoreless tie in the eighth, driving the second pitch he saw from reliever Jonathan Loaisiga over the right-field wall.

Arizona's Brandon Pfaadt and Los Angeles' Yoshinobu Yamamoto were locked in an impressive pitcher's duel for most of the evening, with both right-handers breezing
