Dodgers Rally Six Runs Ninth, Ohtani Homer Secures 14-11 Win Over Diamondbacks

The Los Angeles Dodgers rallied from an 11-8 deficit to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 14-11, fueled by a six-run ninth inning capped by Shohei Ohtani's 12th home run of the season. Ohtani finished the game with four RBIs, including a decisive three-run homer off Ryan Thompson that broke an 11-11 tie. The Dodgers established an early 8-3 lead through three innings, but their bullpen faltered, allowing Arizona to score eight runs and take the lead, highlighted by Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s grand slam and solo homers from Ketel Marte and Randal Grichuk. Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki struggled, giving up multiple home runs and failing to complete five innings, while Eduardo Rodriguez was roughed up early by the Dodgers' offense. Despite these struggles, the Dodgers' offense persisted, with contributions from Andy Pages, Enrique Hernandez, Max Muncy, and Freddie Freeman, culminating in a dramatic comeback win that extended their major-league lead in comeback victories. The game featured seven homers, 14 extra-base hits, and a rare blend of offensive fireworks and pitching challenges, making it a wild and memorable contest at Chase Field.
