亚利桑那响尾蛇队新秀瑞恩·瓦尔德施密特在第九局击出2分全垒打，以4:3击败洛杉矶道奇队[1]。这支卫冕世界大赛冠军的道奇队遭遇赛季最长的7连败[1]，自7月5日以来战绩仅为10胜16负[2]。尽管近期战绩低迷，道奇队仍在分区中保持7.5场胜差的领先优势[2]。
瓦尔德施密特的绝杀球击中道奇队终结者埃德温·迪亚兹[1]。这是瓦尔德施密特职业生涯第二支全垒打，也是他大联盟生涯首支制胜球[2]。迪亚兹本赛季防御率高达11.00，在11场出场中已失11分[2]。这位三度全明星与道奇队签有三年6900万美元合同[2]，7月29日刚从伤残名单复出[2]。此役前，响尾蛇队诺兰·阿雷纳多在第二局击出独垒全垒打，为球队首先得分[1]，这是他本赛季第17个全垒打[1]。道奇队主帅戴夫·罗伯茨赛后表示："我们需要打得更好。"[2]
Rookie Ryan Waldschmidt delivered a two-run home run in the ninth inning to lift the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.[1][2] The blast came off closer Edwin Díaz and proved decisive in handing the defending World Series champions their seventh consecutive loss.[1][2]
Waldschmidt's ninth-inning heroics marked his first major league walk-off home run, though the rookie had previously homered in professional play.[2] The Dodgers' struggles continued despite Nolan Arenado's solo home run in the second inning, which gave Arizona an early lead.[1] Arenado's shot was his 17th of the season.[1]
The Dodgers' collapse has intensified concerns about the team's recent form. Since July 5, the club has posted a 10-16 record, though they maintain a 7.5-game lead in the division standings.[2] Díaz, who returned from the injured list on July 29, has struggled significantly, posting an 11.00 ERA over 11 appearances this season.[2] The three-time All-Star is in the second year of a three-year, $69 million contract.[2] Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the team's shortcomings, stating: "We've just got to play better."[2]
