The LA Dodgers completed a three-game winning streak.
The Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 in a home game at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on the 29th, 2026.
Tyler Glasnow, who started that day, held up well with four hits allowed, six strikeouts, one walk and two runs in six innings, but the lineup failed to produce, so he did not get the win. Although Glasnow did not add to his win total, the Dodgers ran their record to three straight wins to start the season.
The Dodgers set the lineup as Shohei Ohtani (designated hitter), Kyle Tucker (right fielder), Mookie Betts (shortstop), Will Smith (catcher), Freddie Freeman (first baseman), Teoscar Hernández (left fielder), Santiago Espinal (third baseman), Andy Pages (center fielder) and Miguel Rojas (second baseman).
Ohtani drew two walks but was 0-for-2, and Tucker was quiet at 0-for-4. Betts was also 0-for-3. But Smith hit a three-run go-ahead homer, and Freeman raked with three hits and an RBI.
Veteran infielder Rojas, a competitor to Kim Hye-sung, had two hits. Alex Freeland, another competitor to Kim Hye-sung who entered as a substitute, was 0-for-1.
The first run belonged to Arizona. Glasnow struggled in the top of the first. With one out and no runners, he allowed an infield hit to Corbin Carroll. He got Geraldo Perdomo on an infield grounder but yielded an RBI single to Pavin Smith.
In the third, he gave up a double to the leadoff hitter Jorge Barrosa and got Ketel Marte on an infield grounder. With two outs and a runner on third, he allowed a sacrifice fly to Carroll, making it 0-2.
The Dodgers trailed through the fifth inning. In the bottom of the fifth, with one out and no runners, Rojas singled, but Ohtani hit into a double play to end the threat.
They scored one in the sixth to signal a comeback. Tucker reached on an error, and Betts popped out to right field. Tucker then stole a base to put runners at first and second with one out.
Smith was retired on an infield grounder, and Freeman hit an RBI double. The score was 1-2. The Dodgers turned the game around in the eighth inning.
Leadoff hitter Ohtani was out on an infield grounder. Tucker also grounded out to end up with two outs and no runners on. Betts drew a walk to put a runner at first with two outs, and Smith came to the plate.
It was Smith's birthday; he was born in 1995. The birthday man celebrated with a go-ahead homer in the batter's box.
Smith hit a two-run go-ahead homer off right-hander Juan Morillo on a 98.1 mph (about 158 km/h) pitch — the seventh pitch of the at-bat. On his birthday, he became the hero who led the team to the comeback and the season-opening three-game winning streak.<
