Diamondbacks 9 Dodgers 3: Arizona’s Tim Tawa homered and drove in four as the Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-3 on July 11, 2026. The win was powered by Tawa’s fourth-inning two-run shot and a quality start from Eduardo Rodriguez, lifting Arizona to a decisive road victory.

Tawa delivers decisive power surge
Tim Tawa provided the offensive highlight with a two-run homer in the fourth inning that gave Arizona a comfortable cushion. He finished the night with four RBIs, the homer coming off Dodgers pitcher Stewart with a runner on and two outs. Tawa’s bat paced a balanced Arizona attack that produced nine runs and eight hits.

Eduardo Rodriguez navigates Dodgers lineup
Eduardo Rodriguez turned in a workmanlike outing for the Diamondbacks, going six innings while allowing two runs and striking out seven. His length on the mound limited Los Angeles to a small number of opportunities and allowed Arizona’s bullpen to close the game without further damage. Rodriguez’s performance was a stabilizing factor, setting the tone for a club that needed a reliable start on the road. (foxsports.com)
Key scorers and supporting plays
Arizona’s lineup got contributions beyond Tawa, with Gabrielle Moreno and Geraldo Perdomo each driving in runs and helping build the cushion. The Diamondbacks used timely two-out hits — including multiple two-out RBIs from Tawa — to convert pressure into runs. The team finished with seven runs accounted for by its primary run producers, underlining a collective offensive effort. (foxsports.com)
Dodgers falter against left-handed pitching
Los Angeles struggled to solve Arizona’s starter and the left-handed looks that followed, leaving several scoring chances unfulfilled. The Dodgers managed three runs but were repeatedly stymied with runners in scoring position, and their bullpen could not erase the deficit after the fourth inning. That inability to string together offensive responses turned an early contest into a comfortable Arizona victory. (foxsports.com)
Game context and immediate implications
The win gives Arizona a morale-boosting road result against a divisional rival and highlights the Diamondbacks’ depth in both starting pitching and situational hitting. For Los Angeles, the defeat underscores a need for more consistent offense when facing experienced starters away from home. Both clubs will quickly shift focus to upcoming series with adjustments expected from managers and coaching staffs. (sportsnet.ca)
