Dodgers vs. D-backs Game Highlights (9/23/25) | MLB Highlights | Arizona Diamondbacks

Going to be an easy trip for the Dodgers to finish two teams that are right in the thick of things themselves. It almost feels like the postseason here in the last regular season games because of what everyone is fighting for in the first game of this series. It will be shohei Otani for the Dodgers coming off five no hit innings against the Phillies. His last time, a face off with brandon fought who’s coming off the best start of his career nine shutout innings but a no decision. It was 00 until the 11th and Justin Verlander with the Giants last week, the Giants scored five runs in the 11th inning in that game to win it. In addition to those 53 home runs, one shy of the league lead , one shy of his own franchise record. He’s reached base 26 games in a row. Swings and one hops it softly to second base with all day to throw. He throws out Otani who I’m sure will now head back to the dugout and get ready to pitch the bottom of the first. Mookie had a three hit game against the Cardinals first week in August and that has started to stretch where he’s top five in the league in batting average , swings bounce to left field. That’s a base hit a couple of hops to the left fielder, jake mccarthy. And bet is the first hit of the series that comes up. We’re talking about doing something well against the Diamondbacks. Freddie Freeman. No different is leaking toward the seats blaze. Might have Rome and he’s got it. We’ve not seen much of Munsey lately. He’s been on and off the engine list throughout the year and Munsey launches a towering fly ball to right, but Corbin’s got room, he’s made 13 starts this season of 329. A, this is the 1/100 major league start of his career. Only two players in major league history have ever hit 100 home runs and made 100 starts as a pitcher. And Babe Ruth, that’s a broken bat. Pop fly to right field. Here comes Hernandez, he gets there for the first out of the game is that bat went flying up into the netting above the dugout that came out of the broken bat. The ball came off the bat flying into that net. So one bat broken one out recorded and up comes Kell Marte swung on ground ball to second right behind it. Tommy Edmon, he is up with it, throws on to first to retire the jogging Marte and there’s two down 5050 man on the mound, 3030 man in the batter’s box and Corbin Carroll takes strike three. A curveball caught him looking strikeout. Number one for Otani comes on the curve. The side retired in order. We’ll go to the second inning in Phoenix during the break. They honored Clayton Kershaw here at chase field. He got a great hand from this crowd which is packed, but can he get a little practice coming out of the pen? Which is the likely role for him in October? That’s a high drive to deep left field back goes mccarthy at the wall. It is gone. Oscar Hernandez finds the seats and the Dodgers strike first number 25 of the year for Teoscar one to nothing in the second gets into a good count. Two strikes that sinker moving away from the barrel, but there’s a nice job getting around this thing. And just enough you see mccarthy going back the reach still a few more inches above the glove. He’s been hot lately last 15 games hitting 347 got him blew a fastball by him after falling behind three and one to strikes out Moreno for the first out of the second. So Tony retired the first that he’s faced after the five no hit innings against the Phillies under the payoff from Alexander. Chases a slider for strike 33 in a row for show five different pitches to get out this one, the sweeper is going away from the barrel of Alexander late movement. You just never know what it’s going to be from start to start from at bat to at bat. What’s going to be working best for swinging a ground ball toward the middle back hand is Tommy straight up on the first. It’s another 123 innings. Dave Roberts heart sank into his stomach after watching that in real time, but he seems to be all right, fastball to 100 to strike him out and back to back Ks here in the 3rd 5th strikeout for swing and a miss strike three is looking very formidable. This is his craft. This is something he takes so much pride in as much as we’ve seen last year. The 50 club, all the stuff offensively. This is ultimately what he puts on the top of all his shelves of priorities. 70 pitches as we keep an eye on the pitch count for, looks like somebody is getting up and beginning to move around. That’s a bouncer back to o he throws it to the bag for one. The first. There’s a double play, five more scoreless innings from look in his eye, a little extra edge Dodgers looking for insurance for at second Freeman at first. Here’s hernandez who led off the second with that home run his 25th of the year for the It’s hard. He’s in freeman’s right behind him. Hernandez heads for third and it’s 10. It’s not nothing. Otani A prolific checker of boxes tonight. The goal was to start playoff mode. Line drive. Center field, Paz is there and six scoreless innings from shohei 19 and two. His last four starts in just one run. He goes six innings for the first time that who is over two but six more scoreless innings on his catcher hit a drive to right and deep going back, Benjamin biceps, flexes four to nothing Dodgers first time he has to greet him at home. An extra flex on a two strike pitch no less. Rortvedt finds the seats. Vargas at first with two outs. Mccann zero for two mccann deep to center pars backing up that it’s high off the wall. Vargas will score James mccann. Another big hit hits an RB I double blasted to straight away. Center Paez covers a lot of ground out there for the Dodgers. A real rangy center fielder, but he couldn’t get back to the wall quickly enough to even make a play on this ball backs off plays. The shutout is gone here in the seventh. Dave Roberts is coming out and he’s going to get dryer and they’ll bring in a right hander. The look at this, they’re going to do a double change here. They’re going to burn Lawler just to get the pitching change. And now they brought in Adrian del Castillo looking for some thunder off the bench to loo rolling the dice a little bit here. Cranks it. Andrian de Castillo makes it a one run game interrupted, it, drove it out of here to right field outstanding. And for the Diamondbacks they know that, you know, there are not too many, they’re running out of tomorrow’s and if they’re going to get the postseason, Dodgers know they’re playing on Tuesday at home. Oh, what a cuts call there mccann down to his last strike, pulls it off and now the tying run is at third, the winning run is at second and there’s only one down in the bottom of the ninth inning. Barosa hits a fly ball to left Cole backing up to the track. Here comes Vargas Jorge Barosa ties it up. It’s another blown save for Tanner scott and shohei Otani gets a no decision out of this and we’re talking prior to the game, the value that Perdomo has fought when he has mentioned his team this year. What a moment go. He finds himself in that base hit. Here comes to Alex Cole with a throw here. You
