Ryan Waldschmidt hit a walk-off two-run homer in the ninth inning off Dodgers closer Edwin Diaz to give the Arizona Diamondbacks a 4-3 victory over Los Angeles on Friday night. The blast extended the Dodgers' losing streak to seven games, per multiple outlets reporting the result.
Waldschmidt, a rookie, provided the decisive blow after the Dodgers had found their way out of an early hole. According to one report, the loss stemmed from baserunning blunders, missed offensive opportunities, and a shaky bullpen performance. One outlet noted that this marked Waldschmidt's second career home run, while another reported the victory gave the Diamondbacks five straight wins over the Dodgers.
