Diamondbacks Overcome Ohtani's 22nd Homer, Beat Sloppy Dodgers 5-3 for 3-Game Sweep
Ildemaro Vargas had two hits and a go-ahead single as Arizona completed its first road sweep of Los Angeles since 2017, AP said.
- On Sunday, Ildemaro Vargas delivered a go-ahead single in the sixth inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks completed a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 5-3 victory, overcoming Shohei Ohtani's 22nd home run.
- The Dodgers initially built a 3-0 lead behind Tommy Edman's third-inning two-run single, but sloppy defense undermined their advantage; the team has committed nine errors over five games heading into the All-Star break.
- Arizona rallied in the fifth when Nolan Arenado drove in a run after center fielder Andy Pages committed an error, then tied the game 3-3 in the sixth on a critical defensive miscue by Max Muncy that allowed Geraldo Perdomo to score.
- Reliever Ryan Thompson earned the win with three straight outs, while Paul Sewald pitched a perfect ninth for his 22nd save in 23 chances. Arizona remains 49-47, trailing the Dodgers by 11 1/2 games.
- The Dodgers enter the All-Star break with a major league-best 61-36 record, though Ohtani will skip Tuesday's All-Star Game to have his left knee drained due to continued irritation.
