On Friday night, Tim Tawa led Arizona with a standout performance, belting a homer and driving in four runs to power the Diamondbacks to a 9-3 win. Tawa opened the scoring in the fourth with a two-run blast that gave Arizona a 4-2 lead they would not relinquish. He continued his surge with RBI singles in both the sixth and eighth innings, finishing 3-for-4 while batting ninth. Eduardo Rodríguez delivered six solid innings on the mound to improve to 8-3, limiting the Dodgers to two runs on seven hits.
The game shifted into a bullpen battle for Los Angeles after Shohei Ohtani was scratched from his scheduled start due to an irritated left knee and subsequently will skip the All-Star Game. Ohtani and Andy Pages connected for back-to-back homers in the bottom of the first inning, a response to the Dodgers having given Arizona two runs in the top of the frame. However, Los Angeles wouldn’t score again until Miguel Rojas delivered an RBI single in the bottom of the ninth.
Looking ahead, right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (9-5) is slated to start for the Dodgers on Saturday night. He brings a 2.49 ERA and a 0.879 WHIP over 104.2 innings across 16 starts. For Arizona, right-hander Brandon Pfaadt (2-1) will take the mound as he returns to the rotation, starting June 30. Pfaadt carries a 4.84 ERA and a 1.345 WHIP in 15 appearances (five starts) spanning 48.1 innings.
