Teoscar Hernández hit a pivotal three-run homer off Corbin Burnes in the sixth inning, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks and snapping Burnes’ streak of 21 consecutive scoreless innings. Dodger starter Dustin May pitched six strong innings allowing just one run, striking out eight to end a three-game losing streak, while Tanner Scott earned his 10th save of the season. Burnes retired the first 11 Dodgers batters and finished with eight strikeouts over seven innings, but the three-run homer by Hernández was the decisive blow. Ketel Marte provided Arizona's lone run with a solo homer in the fourth inning. This win marked the Dodgers’ 18th come-from-behind victory of the season and improved their home record to 19-9. Both May and Burnes showed effective pitching, but the Dodgers capitalized on a crucial mistake pitch from Burnes, highlighting the competitive pitching duel between the two.
