LOS ANGELES — Joc Pederson slugged a three-run homer for his 500th career RBI, Christian Walker went deep and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-3 on Tuesday night.
The Dodgers had their four-game winning streak at home snapped as they got outhit, 12-6.
Every player in the D-backs' starting lineup notched at least one hit as they won at Dodger Stadium for the first time since April 2, 2023.
''That's who we want to be — never die, if you give us a chance, give us a breath, we're going to drive a run across,'' Walker said.
Arizona's Brandon Pfaadt (2-3) didn't allow a hit until the fourth, when Shohei Ohtani doubled leading off. The Japanese superstar stole third — tearing his pants sliding — and scored on catcher Gabriel Moreno's throw that went into left field. The unearned run left the Dodgers trailing 2-1.
''Never backed down, went right at them,'' Walker said of Pfaadt.
The Dodgers pulled to 4-3 with a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth. Miguel Vargas doubled leading off, took third on Mookie Betts' flyout and scored on Ohtani's RBI single to make it 4-2. Ohtani stole second after Freddie Freeman struck out and he scored on Will Smith's RBI double to center.
Ohtani went 2 for 4 with a strikeout, scored twice, drove in a run and stole two bases. He leads the majors in extra-base hits with 31 and total bases with 127. Betts was hitless in three at-bats with a walk on his bobblehead night.
