Madison Bumgardner got the start, he went 4.2 innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits. But it was the bullpen that came in and shut down the Dodgers, providing 4.1 shutout innings.
Longoria led the D-backs in scoring, going 3-3 and scoring two runs, including his game-tying home run.
Gabriel Moreno also delivered with a clutch two-out double to extend Arizona’s lead in the eighth inning. Moreno ended 2-4. hopefully enough to boost him out of his early-season slump.
