Ohtani hits 3-run homer in 9th to cap Dodgers' wild comeback in 14-11 win over
Diamondbacks
By JOHN MARSHALL
AP Sports Writer
PHOENIX (AP) --- Shohei Ohtani hit a three-run homer to cap a six-run ninth
inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied for a wild 14-11 victory over the
Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night.
The Dodgers trailed 11-8 entering the ninth inning after blowing an early
five-run lead.
Andy Pages and Kik Hernndez hit consecutive run-scoring doubles to open the
ninth inning against Kevin Ginkel (0-1). Max Muncy tied it at 11-all with a
run-scoring single and Ryan Thompson replaced Ginkel to face Ohtani.
It didn't go well.
Ohtani, who doubled twice, fell into a 1-2 hole before launching his 12th homer
near the pool deck in right to put the Dodgers up 14-11. He finished with four
RBIs.
Tanner Scott worked a perfect ninth save in 11 chances.
The Dodgers roughed up Eduardo Rodriguez to take an 8-3 lead through three
innings, but couldn't hold it.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a tying grand slam in the fifth inning, then Ketel
Marte and Randal Grichuk hit solo shots off Alex Vesia (1-0) in the eighth to
put Arizona up 11-8.
Pages finished with three RBIs and Hernndez extended the Dodgers' homer streak
to 13 straight games with a solo shot in the second inning.
Marte homered twice for the Diamondbacks. Rodriguez allowed eight runs on nine
hit in 2 2/3 innings
Key moment Ohtani has a knack for coming through in big moments and sure had one against the Diamondbacks with his three-run homer in the ninth.
Key stat The Diamondbacks hit grand slams in consecutive games for the second time in team history after Gabriel Moreno hit one Thursday. Arizona also did it against the Dodgers in 2011, by Ryan Roberts and Cole Gillespie.
