LOS ANGELES — Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll blasted a two-run shot in the top of the 10th inning at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, but D-backs closer Shelby Miller — pitching in a third straight game — gave up a walk-off sacrifice fly to Max Muncy, and the Diamondbacks lost 4-3.
The Diamondbacks spoiled a gem outing by Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto to force extras, but they ran out of arms to close it down. Miller had never pitched in three straight games before, and the only options were Scott McGough, Cristian Montes De Oca and Ryan Thompson.
Carroll — who was 0-for-4 entering the 10th inning — walloped a fastball 404 feet to left-center field off Dodgers closer Tanner Scott. It was his 15th home run of the season, which is tied for fourth in MLB.
The Diamondbacks reached extras after Gabriel Moreno blasted a game-tying solo shot off Scott with one out in the ninth inning. He turned on a fastball and hit it a mile high, just inside the foul pole in left field. Moreno has three homers this season, all against the Dodgers.
Before the game, manager Torey Lovullo said, “Gabi’s locked in right now. He’s swinging the bat very well. So it should be an exciting night for him.”
Kevin Ginkel walked two batters in the bottom half but managed to escape the jam.
Thompson failing to lock down the win on Monday without needing Miller came back to bite.
Ketel Marte ends Yamamoto’s no-hit bid
Yamamoto was dominant through seven innings, no-hitting the D-backs through six of them.
Ketel Marte ended Yamamoto’s bid for history with a lead-off single off the wall in right field, but Yamamoto stranded him on third by striking out Pavin Smith to end the inning and his gem outing.
The D-backs scored five runs off Yamamoto at Chase Field on May 8, but he looked unhittable on Tuesday. He struck out nine batters through seven innings, four of them looking.
In the eighth, the Diamondbacks created a chance to put up a crooked number but failed to come through. Geraldo Perdomo led off with a hustle double off Dodgers reliever Alex Vesia. Tim Tawa dropped a perfect bunt to the left side, which Vesia misplayed for a hit.
With runners on the corners and nobody out, the D-backs opted to use Eugenio Suarez as a pinch hitter for Jordan Lawlar, who was 0-for-2 with two strikeouts against Yamamoto.
Suarez popped out, Carroll struck out, and after a Marte intentional walk, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. struck out against Ben Casparius.
Ryne Nelson keeps Dodgers in check
D-backs starter Ryne Nelson pushed through five innings while on a pitch count, giving up one run on three hits while throwing 71 pitches.
He shut out the Dodgers through 3.2 innings, but back-to-back doubles by Freddie Freeman and Will Smith broke the stalemate. Nelson dialed it back in and retired the final four batters he faced.
