The offense and bullpen picked up Cristian Mena who had a shaky MLB debut as the D-backs came back from a 4-1 deficit to win the game.
As Christian Walker's second home run of the game soared high into the California night, the three-run blast put an exclamation point on an incredible game for the Arizona Diamondbacks. For only the second time all year they were able to come back and win a game in which they trailed by multiple runs. Down 4-1 after the first inning, they won 12-4.
Walker is now batting .267 with a .845 OPS. He has 20 homers and 59 RBI. Remarkably, he has seven homers against the Dodgers this year, five of them in Dodger Stadium. His 17 homers in Dodger Stadium since 2017 are the most of any visiting player in MLB. Even slumping Eugenio Suarez got in on the the act, with two RBI doubles ad two walks. The D-backs offense was relentless all night. They scored in seven of the nine innings. In all the D-backs had 16 hits and the12 runs were the most runs they've scored in Dodger Stadium since 2017.
A wide-eyed Mena could be seen getting instruction from pitching coach Brent Strom after the inning. "He just told me to forget about what happened, just go out there do it like nothing happened, like a new inning. Just go out there and forget, flush it, and do your best"
