The Diamondbacks' performance was particularly notable in the third inning when they scored three runs off four hits, setting the tone for their dominance in this game. Key contributions came from Christian Walker and Jacob McCarthy, who were instrumental in driving Arizona's offense. Walker boasted an impressive .800 batting average for the game, including two home runs and four RBIs, while McCarthy added to the tally with a .200 average.


Pitching also played a crucial role in securing this win for the Diamondbacks. Bryce Jarvis emerged as a pivotal figure from the bullpen, clinching his first win of the season without allowing any earned runs and maintaining an ERA of 0.0 across his appearance. His performance underscored Arizona's strategic pitching changes that effectively stifled Dodger batters.
