Dodgers Edge Nationals 6-5 Behind Reserve Players' Support

The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 6-5 victory over the Washington Nationals, with key contributions from reserves like Enrique Hernandez and Miguel Rojas supporting Clayton Kershaw despite his uneven outing. The Arizona Diamondbacks, holding a 37-37 record, are set to face the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, with right-hander Zac Gallen struggling this season and needing improved command to avoid another poor performance in the hitter-friendly park. Meanwhile, the Rockies will start left-hander Austin Gomber, who has shown promise with a scoreless outing in his recent start. The Diamondbacks have faced recent challenges, including a tough 8-1 loss in Toronto and bullpen struggles, yet their offense remains strong, ranking high in home runs and RBIs, led by Eugenio Suárez who has been a standout performer. Despite pitching difficulties reflected in a high team ERA and negative run differential, there is optimism around Arizona’s offensive capabilities and key individual contributions. Injury reports and detailed player status for both teams are available ahead of the matchup.
