The Arizona Diamondbacks opened up the 2019 season with a tough 3-2 loss to rival Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium. Walker Buehler (1-0) earned the victory for the Dodgers, going 6 2/3 innings and striking out ten, while allowing just one run on three hits.

Chris Taylor had the big blow offensively for the Dodgers, hitting a two-run home run off of Zack Greinke in the third. Corey Seager added an RBI double in the bottom of the seventh to add a big insurance run.

Dylan Floro came on with two outs in the ninth in relief of Kenley Jansen and got Steve Souza Jr to strike out with the bases loaded to end the game and earn his first career save.

Eduardo Escobar drove in both Arizona runs with RBI doubles in the seventh and ninth innings. His RBI double in the ninth just missed being a game tying home run as the ball hit high off of the wall in left.

Former Diamondback A.J. Pollock broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the tenth with a walk-off solo home run off of Greg Holland as the Dodgers took game two, 2-1 at Dodger Stadium.

Scott Alexander picked up the win in relief for the Dodgers, working two scoreless innings. A.J. Pollack went 3 for 5 with a double to go along with his game winning home run.

Greg Holland took the loss for Arizona. Robbie Ray worked five innings, allowing one run on just four hits. Kenta Maeda went five innings for the Dodgers, allowing a single run on six hits.

Rod Stripling allowed just one hit in six innings and the Dodgers used the long ball to defeat the Dbacks 6-0 on Saturday evening. Joc Pederson homered twice, Corey Seager homered and A.J. Pollock went 4 for 4 with an RBI in the victory.

Zack Godley struggled, allowing three runs, all solo home runs, on seven hits in five innings of work.

Note: Jarrod Dyson left the game in the seventh inning after fracturing his right arm diving for a fly ball. Ildemaro Vargas was recalled from Triple-A Reno to replace Dyson.

The Dodgers completed the opening series sweep on Sunday afternoon behind a two-hit shutout from Hyun-Jin Ryu. He struck out nine and got all the run support that he would need in the fourth as Cody Bellinger launched a two-run home run off of Luke Weaver. Bellinger went 3 for 3 with a double, triple and home run, and he drove in three of the Dodgers four runs.

Luke Weaver pitched well in the loss, allowing just the three runs on eight hits over seven innings of work.

Arizona (0-4) will now head down to San Diego (1-3) for three games to conclude their opening road trip.

Former DBack A.J. Pollock had a big opening series against his former team.

Wil Myers hit a two-run home run off of reliever Yoshihisa Hirano in the bottom of the seventh to put the San Diego Padres in front as they held on for a 3-2 victory over the winless Arizona Diamondbacks.

Arizona (0-5) finally broke a franchise record 32-inning scoreless streak in the seventh inning when Wilmer Flores doubled to left, scoring Christian Walker. Carson Kelly then lined a two-out single to center to score Flores with the go ahead run.

San Diego (2-3) took the lead in the second inning on a solo home run from Franmil Reyes off of Merrell Kelly, making his major league debut for Arizona. He was sharp, going six innings and allowing just the one run on only two hits. He struck out three and did not issue a walk.

The DBacks woes continued on Tuesday evening as Manuel Margot hit a fifth inning grand slam off of Zack Grienke and the Padres held on for a 7-4 victory to keep the Dbacks winless on the 2019 season.

Matt Stram (1-0) earned the victory for the Padres, lasting only five innings and allowing just one run on three hits. Craig Stammen picked up the save, his third, tight roping out of the ninth after issuing back-to-back two-out walks before he got Steven Souza Jr to fly out to right to end the ballgame.

The Padres completed the sweep on Wednesday afternoon with an easy 7-0 victory behind Joey Lucchesi (1-1). He pitched eight shutout innings, allowing just three hits while striking out five and walking three. Robbie Ray (0-1) lasted just four innings, allowing six earned runs. He walked three and struck out four.

Eric Hosmer did the damage offensively. He had a bases clearing double to key a five run second inning. He went 3 for 4 with that double and four RBIs.

The winless DBacks (0-7) will come home for their home opener on Friday afternoon as they will host the defending World Champion Boston Red Sox.

Eric Hosmer and the Padres got healthy against the DBacks.

J.D. Martinez put on a show for the DBacks home opener in his return to Chase Field. He homered three times, including a second inning grand slam, and drove in seven as the Red Sox kept the Dbacks winless with a 9-4 victory. Martinez leads the majors with seven home runs already through nine games.

Wilmer Flores went 3 for 4 with a double and he drove in two in the loss.

Eduardo Rodriguez (1-1) picked up the win for Boston. He pitched eight innings, allowing three runs on eight hits. He struck out three and walked none.

Taijuan Walker (0-1) made his 2019 debut for Arizona and it was forgettable. He lasted just five innings, surrendering eight earned run son nine hits. He walked one and did not record a strikout.

Besides being winless through eight games, the DBacks also have not hit a home run yet this season. The Dbacks are last in baseball with a (.184) batting average, last in runs (13), and 28th in ERA at (5.54).

The Dbacks finally broke through on Saturday evening, notching their first win of 2019, but not without some drama. Adam Jones lined a one-out double to center in the bottom of the tenth to score David Peralta from first to send the Chase Field crowd home happy, and remove the monkey off of the DBacks collective backs.

It wasn't easy though as Archie Bradley blew a two-run ninth inning lead, allowing the Red Sox to score four times on five hits to take a 6-4 lead.

Steve Souza Jr then hit a two-out, two-run pinch hit single in the bottom of the ninth to tie the ballgame. It was the DBacks fourth consecutive hit with two outs off of Red Sox closer Matt Barnes.

The Dbacks (1-8) hit three home runs in the game. One from David Peralta in the first and two from Jake Lamb. All were solo shots and they were the first three home runs for Arizona in 2019.

In the finale, it was once again the J.D. Martinez show as he thoroughly enjoyed his return to the Valley of the Sun. Sunday afternoon he went 3 for 5 with three doubles and drove in four to seal a series win for the Red Sox as they won 7-2. Martinez drove in 11 runs in the three game series.

Chris Sale (2-1) picked up the win for Boston. He had a shaky first inning, allowing two runs on four hits, then settled in and scattered four hits over the next seven innings. He struck out six and walked three.

Luke Weaver (0-2) took the loss for Arizona. He went just 3 2/3 innings, allowing six runs on nine hits. Matt Koch and Matt Andriese worked the final 5 1/3 innings out of the bullpen and allowed only one run on three hits.

Arizona (1-9) has an off day tomorrow before starting a two game series at Chase Field against the Texas Rangers (6-4), who lead the AL West.

J.D. Martinez returned to Chase Field and mashed.

Martinez loves Chase Field man, I had a huge series with him as well.

APRIL 9-10: TEXAS (7-5) @ ARIZONA (2-10)

April 9: DBacks 8, Rangers 1
April 10: Rangers 4, Dbacks 3 (13)


The Arizona Diamondbacks played their best game of 2019 so far on Tuesday evening as they routed the Texas Rangers 8-1 at Chase Field. Zack Greinke (1-2) picked up his first win on the season, going seven innings and allowing just one run on four hits.

Wilmer Flores (1) and Edgar Escobar (1) hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the seventh to pace the offense. Escobar wenmt 3 for 4 with two doubles and the homer. He also drove in three.

Yoshihiro Hirano and Archie Bradley came on to work the final two scoreless innings.

The Texas Rangers took the second game in extra innings as Hunter Pence singled home Logan Forsythe in the top of the thirteen inning. The Dbacks had tied the game in the bottom of the eighth on a pinch hit solo home run from Alex Avila.

Arizona (2-10) had a runner reach third in the 10th, 11th and 13th innings, but could not push a run across and finished the game 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position.

They will now host the San Diego Padres (10-3), winners of nine straight, for a four game weekend series to close out the opening home stand.

Eduardo Escobar has been one of the few bright spots for Arizona in 2019.
