Dodgers Rally to Claim Thrilling 14-11 Victory Over Diamondbacks
PHOENIX — In a dramatic turn of events, the Los Angeles Dodgers staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 14-11 on Friday night at Chase Field. The Dodgers scored eight runs in the first three innings but found themselves trailing by the sixth, thanks in part to a shaky outing from starting pitcher Roki Sasaki, who could not go beyond five innings.
Sasaki, heralded as a promising addition this offseason, struggled, yielding two home runs early and averaging a diminished 94.9 mph fastball. Meanwhile, Anthony Banda’s woes continued as he surrendered a grand slam to Lourdes Gurriel Jr., tying the game. The tension escalated when Dodgers pitching coach Mark Prior was ejected after a disputed call that forced a run.
Despite a lull in production, the Dodgers rallied in the ninth. With key hits from Freddie Freeman, Andy Pages, and Kiké Hernandez, they quickly tied the game. Shohei Ohtani then sealed the deal with a towering three-run homer, his 12th of the season. The thrilling victory marked a rollercoaster night, keeping the Dodgers in contention as the season progresses.
