PHOENIX (AP) \u2014 Eduardo Rodriguez struck out nine in seven strong innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks clinched their first season series over the Los Angeles Dodgers since 2018 with a 4-2 victory Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Dodgers snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 2-1 win over Arizona in 10 innings Saturday. Rodriguez (11-4) shut them down most of the afternoon in the series finale, allowing two runs and five hits. <\/p>\n
Ketel Marte hit a two-run homer off Justin Wrobleski (11-4) in the first inning and Kevin Ginkel worked a perfect ninth for his first save this year, clinching Arizona\u2019s 7-6 win in the season series.<\/p>\n
The NL West-leading Dodgers have lost three consecutive series for the first time since Aug. 29 to Sept. 7, 2025. <\/p>\n
Coming off a rare shaky start this season, Rodriguez allowed Andy Pages\u2019 run-scoring single in the third and Kyle Tucker\u2019s RBI triple in the sixth that pulled the Dodgers within 4-2.<\/p>\n
Wrobleski labored his previous two starts, giving up 12 runs and eight homers in 10 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
The homer trend continued early against the Diamondbacks, when Marte lined a two-run shot into the back of Arizona\u2019s bullpen in the first inning to eclipse 600 RBIs in 10 seasons with the D-backs.<\/p>\n
Wrobleski hurt himself in the second with a throwing error on a sacrifice bunt that scored a run. Gabriel Moreno followed with a run-scoring double to put Arizona up 4-0.<\/p>\n
Wrobleski allowed four runs on six hits in 3 1\/3 innings with three strikeouts and three walks.<\/p>\n
