Ketel Marte Delivers Walk-Off Homer to Secure Win for Diamondbacks Against Dodgers

PHOENIX, ARIZONA - On June 4, 2026, Ketel Marte of the Arizona Diamondbacks stunned the Los Angeles Dodgers with a walk-off home run, clinching a 3-2 victory at Chase Field. Marte's dramatic hit off Tanner Scott not only secured the win but also allowed Arizona to split their four-game series with Los Angeles.

The Dodgers had a strong start, with Justin Wrobleski throwing six scoreless innings, but their offense struggled in the absence of Shohei Ohtani. The game took a turn when a collision between Max Muncy and Ildemaro Vargas forced both players out early, impacting the Dodgers' ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities.

Los Angeles managed to take the lead in the fifth inning when pinch-runner Santiago Espinal scored following a double by Ryan Ward. Dalton Rushing added to the Dodgers' advantage, but the Diamondbacks rallied late, with Corbin Carroll hitting a solo home run in the eighth inning, setting the stage for Marte's heroics.

Wrobleski's performance was commendable, as he efficiently generated soft contact throughout his outing. However, the Dodgers' bullpen faltered in the later innings, allowing crucial runs that shifted momentum in favor of Arizona. Marte's home run in the bottom of the ninth marked a thrilling conclusion to a closely contested game.

The Diamondbacks will look to build on this momentum as they prepare for the upcoming Freeway Series against the Angels, with Roki Sasaki taking the mound on Friday night.
