Dodgers Make History in 8-6 Win Over Diamondbacks

In a historic performance, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-6, highlighted by Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman hitting consecutive home runs to start the game, marking the first instance in Dodgers history. Ohtani's blast was his 44th of the season, followed by Betts and Freeman's homers, all within four pitches against Merrill Kelly. Tommy Edman secured the win with a two-run single in the ninth inning after the Dodgers rallied from an early deficit. The Diamondbacks, who struggled offensively after the first inning, saw Corbin Carroll hit an inside-the-park homer and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. contribute with a conventional home run. The victory extended the Dodgers' winning streak to four games and solidified their lead in the NL West by six games. The game also marked a notable debut for pitcher Ben Casparius, who pitched a scoreless eighth inning.
