Dodgers Defeat Diamondbacks 10-9 to Extend Lead
News summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers achieved a historic feat with three consecutive home runs from Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Freddie Freeman to start their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, marking the first time in the franchise's history that this occurred. Despite the early lead, the Dodgers had to battle back from a deficit created by the Diamondbacks, ultimately securing an 8-6 victory on Saturday after a tense back-and-forth contest. Will Smith played a pivotal role in the previous night's 10-9 win by hitting a crucial three-run homer in the seventh inning, helping the team extend their lead in the National League West. Ohtani's 44th home run of the season and Freeman's return to form with a home run added to the Dodgers' offensive momentum. The series showcased the Dodgers' resilience amidst bullpen challenges, particularly after Clayton Kershaw was sidelined due to injury. With this victory, the Dodgers now hold a six-game lead in their division.
