Sergio Alcántara hit a three-run homer in the 10th to lift the Arizona Diamondbacks over the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-3 on Wednesday night.
The Diamondbacks came within inches of winning on a play that is about as heart-stopping as any in a baseball game. Instead, they had to settle for a mere walkoff home run in the bottom of the 10th inning on Wednesday night.
But they won, which is something they have not been able to say after a game against the Dodgers in a long time. Of course, the Dodgers did not play four of their best players; Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Trea Turner and Justin Turner all got the night off a day after the Dodgers clinched the NL West. And they started a pitcher who was making just his fourth career appearance.
With two out in the ninth, McCarthy nearly ended the game. Taking his lead off third, he said he noticed Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes lob the ball back to the mound, not throw it firmly, after the first pitch to Corbin Carroll. He decided to risk it on the next pitch. The Diamondbacks’ young roster had been looking forward to this series against the Dodgers. They had to settle for just one win in three days. There were some bright spots.
And then there was Alcantara’s homer in the 10th, which came at a time when the Diamondbacks appeared to be dead in the water. Marte had failed to cover first on a sac bunt attempt in the top of the inning, costing them an out, and the Dodgers had moved in front on a wild pitch by reliever Reyes Moronta.
