PHOENIX (AP) \u2014 Dave Roberts didn\u2019t look like a manager whose team had just won a Major League Baseball game on Saturday night, wearing a tired, slightly-concerned look on his face while contemplating the 3 1\/2 hours of baseball he had just witnessed.<\/p>\n
He knows his two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers aren\u2019t playing well right now. The only solace is that they\u2019re back in the win column.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was a tough one,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cBut we\u2019ll take it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shohei Ohtani brought home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning on an infield single and the Dodgers snapped a seven-game losing streak with a white-knuckle 2-1 win<\/a> over the Arizona Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n There were definitely some good performances in the victory. Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw 5 2\/3 scoreless innings, Kyle Tucker launched a solo homer for a 1-0 lead in the eighth and Jack Dreyer earned his first save of the year after fielding a comebacker that started a game-ending 1-4-3 double play.<\/p>\n But the negatives were glaring: Edwin Diaz blew a save for the second time two days, giving up the tying run in the ninth. And considering the offense is filled with superstars like Ohtani, Tucker, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, runs are really hard to come by these days.<\/p>\n The Dodgers are averaging less than 3 1\/2 runs per game over the past eight games. On Saturday night, D-backs right-hander Brandon Pfaadt breezed through the high-priced Dodgers\u2019 lineup with seven scoreless innings.<\/p>\n \u201cI just think offensively we\u2019ve got to get going,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to win games when your margin is a razor\u2019s edge. It\u2019s not like guys aren\u2019t trying, but it\u2019s a tough way to pitch and have to be perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n Tucker said he wasn\u2019t worried about the team\u2019s offense. His homer in the eighth was his 11th of the season and one of his best moments with the Dodgers after signing a $240 million, four-year deal<\/a> during the offseason.<\/p>\n \u201cHitting\u2019s tough \u2014 especially in this league,\u201d Tucker said. \u201cEveryone throws really hard, everyone has multiple pitches and when they locate them well it\u2019s tough to hit. But we\u2019re confident in our ability as hitters and there\u2019s a lot of great ones in this lineup. You\u2019ve just got to keep moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n There was also a silver lining to Diaz\u2019s outing despite the blown save.<\/p>\n
