For the final three innings the Diamondbacks had the tying run in scoring position. But it was not to be, as LA managed to hold on for a 6-5 win over Arizona.The Diamondbacks certainly got their fair share of quality offense in the later innings, and right-hander Michael Soroka recovered from a rough beginning to his start for a solid six-inning performance.

He served up a two-run homer to Freddie Freeman in the first inning, then allowed Shohei Ohtani to hit a two-run triple in the second. It looked like Soroka was heading for blowout territory.But as the 28-year-old has so frequently done this season, he managed to dial it in as the game progressed. He held the Dodgers' potent lineup scoreless for the next four innings, muscling his way through six frames with four earned runs allowed on six hits and one walk. Freeman's homer was the first long ball surrendered by Arizona's righty since May 6.That raised his ERA slightly, to 3.49 on the season. Though not a Quality Start officially, nor Soroka's best work this year, it was certainly an acceptable performance against a tough Dodger offense. He gave his team a chance to come away with the win. And they might have, if not for a rough outing by righty Jonathan Loaisiga. Loaisiga gave up two in the seventh inning following Soroka's exit, which would ultimately provide LA the runs they needed to secure a thin victory. Kevin Ginkel and Juan Morillo threw scoreless eighth and ninth innings.Diamondbacks offense solid, but not enoughJun 1, 2026; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Nolan Arenado celebrates with teammates after hitting a solo home run against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the seventh inning at Chase Field.
