Diamondbacks 4, Dodgers 2
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers' bullpen gave up three runs and the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for a 4-2 win on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.
Nick Ahmed hit a solo home run off Pedro Baez to tie the score at 1 in the top of the seventh inning and Paul Goldschmidt put the Diamondbacks (2-5) ahead for good in the eighth with a home run to left-center field off Chris Hatcher.
With one out in the top of the ninth, Socrates Brito tripled to score Ahmed and then came home on a groundout.
The Arizona bullpen combined for three scoreless innings.
The Dodgers (4-4) had two on with none out in the bottom of the eighth, but Daniel Hudson retired the next three in order. Tyler Clippard (2-0) posted the win.
Hatcher (1-1) took the loss.
The Los Angeles bullpen has given up 16 runs in 21 2/3 innings this season.
The Dodgers squandered a stellar outing by right-hander Kenta Maeda, who pitched six scoreless innings but did not get a decision. In his second major league start, he pitched himself out of trouble in the second and fourth and got help from the defense in the sixth.
In the top of the second, Maeda gave up a leadoff single to Welington Castillo before Jake Lamb doubled to right to put runners in scoring position with no outs. But Maeda struck out Yasmany Tomas before Patrick Corbin and Ahmed grounded out to end the inning.
Maeda has yet to give up an earned run in the major leagues.
Howie Kendrick scored the Dodgers' first run in the bottom of the second on A.J. Ellis' squeeze bunt.
Corey Seager scored in the bottom of the ninth for the Dodgers on a groundout by pinch-hitter Yasmani Grandal. But Brad Ziegler struck out Enrique Hernandez to end the game and pick up the save.
Corbin (0-1) pitched six innings, giving up one run and six hits, striking out one and walking one.
The game followed a tribute ceremony in which Dodgers play-by-play broadcaster Vin Scully was honored. Scully is working his final season in the booth after 67 years.
Several Dodgers legends were in attendance, including Sandy Koufax, Don Newcombe and Maury Wills. Broadcaster Al Michaels served as the MC.
