Dunn's error leads to 3-run 9th, Diamondbacks beat Reds 5-2

CINCINNATI (AP) — Blake Dunn dropped a fly ball in the ninth inning to allow the go-ahead run to score in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 5-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night.

With runners on first and second and two outs, Geraldo Perdomo's fly ball to left went off Dunn's glove for an error, and Gabriel Moreno scored to make it 3-2. Jordan Lawlar drove in two more runs with a single.

Lawlar, who was reinstated Friday after missing 61 games with a fractured right wrist, crashed into the center field wall to rob Matt McLain of an extra-base hit in the fourth.

Paul Sewald had his 16th save in 17 chances for Arizona. Kevin Ginkel (2-2) got the win. Brock Burke (2-3) took the loss.

The Reds have dropped seven of eight and 11 of 14.

Eduardo Rodriguez threw 40 pitches in the first inning with three walks but the Reds didn't score despite loading the bases with one out.

Noelvi Marte led off the second with his first home run of the season to put the Reds ahead 1-0. It was Marte's first home run since Sept. 24, 2025, after a 40-game stint at Triple-A this season.

Nolan Arenado's sacrifice fly in the third inning tied it at 1 and snapped a 21-inning scoreless streak for the Diamondbacks.

Rodriguez pitched 2 2/23 innings with one earned run allowed and five walks on 85 pitches.

Lawlar was hit by a pitch from Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo and scored the tying run on LuJames Groover's single in the sixth.

Lodolo allowed two earned runs in 5 1/3 innings with a walk and five strikeouts and hit three batters.

The Diamondbacks had the bases loaded in the eighth but Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson won an ABS challenge and Ketel Marte was called out on strikes to end the inning.

Diamondbacks RHP Zac Gallen (3-5, 5.43) was set to face LHP Andrew Abbott (4-4, 4.10) on Saturday.

CHICAGO (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani is day to day with left knee inflammation.

Ohtani was sidelined for Friday night's 8-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox. But manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani could play this weekend and remains in line to make his next scheduled start on the mound on Wednesday.

Ohtani was lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh inning of Thursday night’s 8-6 win at Pittsburgh.

“He’s doing fine today,” Roberts said before the series opener against the White Sox. “I think that we got some pictures. There was no findings. It’s just the normal wear and tear. I thought initially it was a hamstring, it was the knee. So it just kind of got upset, swelled up a little bit.”

Ohtani, 31, is batting .305 with 13 homers and 40 RBIs in 67 games for the NL West leaders. On the mound, the reigning NL MVP is 6-2 with a 1.06 ERA in 11 starts.

Ohtani had surgery on his left knee in September 2019. Roberts said the swelling is in the back of the knee.

“That’s where a lot of the swelling with the knee kind of like builds,” Roberts said. “But again his range of motion today is good and so if it was another time in the season he’d be in there tonight.”

Ohtani did not speak with the media before the game.

Alex Call was in the leadoff spot for Los Angeles and Santiago Espinal stepped in as the designated hitter. Espinal contributed an early two-run single, but the Dodgers finished with just four hits — all in the first three innings.

Roberts also said utilityman Tommy Edman is on track to be activated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. Edman, who is coming back from offseason ankle surgery, is on a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Right-hander Tyler Glasnow, who is on the 60-day IL because of a back issue, could start playing catch soon.

“(Glasnow) feels great, so he’s going to start kind of ramping things up,” Roberts said.
