For the third consecutive game, the Dodgers found themselves in a 2-0 hole in the early innings.

Shohei Ohtani walked in his first two at-bats before grounding into a double play against Rodriguez in the fifth. Kyle Tucker struck out twice against Rodriguez, while Freddie Freeman and Miguel Rojas each had multiple hits against the 10-year veteran but neither got past second base.

The Dodgers trailed 2-0 when Tucker reached first base to lead off the sixth on an error by Diamondbacks first baseman Carlos Santana. Rodriguez was replaced by right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga.

Tucker stole second base with one out and scored on a double by Freeman down the left-field line as the Dodgers pulled within 2-1.

With two outs in the eighth inning against Arizona’s Juan Morillo, Betts worked a four-pitch walk. With a 2-2 count, Smith crushed a fastball over the center field wall with a 105.1-mph exit velocity.

Shuffled down to the No. 3 spot in the rotation to start the season, Tyler Glasnow was effective over six innings, giving up two runs on four hits with one walk and six strikeouts. Alex Vesia pitched a scoreless seventh before Klein and Diaz held Arizona down the rest of the way.

With trumpets blazing, Diaz entered and marked the occasion with a perfect ninth inning.

Ohtani is now 1-for-8 (.125) to open the season but does have a .587 on-base percentage after two more walks Saturday to give him four in three games.
