Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez went six scoreless innings and Corbin Carroll hit a home run to break a scoreless tie in the seventh inning as the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks earned a 6-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night.
Gabriel Moreno had a sacrifice fly in a three-run seventh as the Diamondbacks won their fourth consecutive game and improved to 8-3 since Aug. 19. Rodriguez (6-8) allowed four hits, while right-hander Jake Woodford pitched a perfect ninth with one strikeout.
Mookie Betts had an RBI single and right-hander Tyler Glasnow (1-3) took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before giving up three runs on four hits over seven innings with six strikeouts.
Los Angeles lost consecutive home games for the first time since they were swept by the Milwaukee Brewers in a three-game series to begin the second half.
In a scoreless game in the fifth inning, the Dodgers had runners on second and third with nobody out when Enrique Hernandez was thrown out at home plate by Diamondbacks left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. while trying to score on a Shohei Ohtani fly ball. Betts lined out to third to end the threat.
Arizona did not collect its first hit off Glasnow until Ildemaro Vargas’ one-out infield single in the sixth. Carroll delivered the game’s first run on his leadoff home run in the seventh, his 28th of the season.
Gurriel and Blaze Alexander doubled after Carroll’s home run, with both scoring on a sacrifice fly from Moreno and a throwing error by Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages.
Los Angeles ended a 15-inning scoreless drought in the series when Betts blooped an RBI single to center in the seventh.
Vargas put the game out of reach with a three-run home run in the ninth against right-hander Kirby Yates, his second homer of the season.
