Summary
- Ketel Marte hit a two-run homer in the Diamondbacks' 4-1 victory.

- Eduardo Rodríguez pitched six strong innings for Arizona.
The Arizona Diamondbacks secured a significant 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night, marking their first win against the rival team this season. The momentum shifted in the seventh inning when Nolan Arenado hit a go-ahead solo home run, followed by Ketel Marte's decisive two-run blast in the eighth, sealing the win.
Rookie Tommy Troy contributed his first major league homer, tying the game in the sixth inning. On the mound, Eduardo Rodríguez continued his excellent season, delivering six innings of one-run ball. Paul Sewald closed out the game with his 15th save.
The Dodgers' offense, which had been strong recently, was held in check despite a three-hit night from Shohei Ohtani. Their lone run came in the third inning when Ohtani doubled and scored on Freddie Freeman's groundout. Dodgers' pitcher Emmet Sheehan pitched well but ultimately took the loss.
The Diamondbacks will look to carry this momentum into Tuesday's game, sending RHP Michael Soroka to the mound against Dodgers' LHP Eric Lauer.
