Ketel Marte's 431‑foot homer powers Diamondbacks past Dodgers

Arizona Diamondbacks rallied to a 3‑2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers after Ketel Marte smashed a 431‑foot home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. The blast broke a tie and secured the victory, ending the Diamondbacks' five‑loss streak in six games. Earlier in the contest, the Dodgers took a 2‑0 lead, but Arizona answered with timely hits from Corbin Carroll, Gabriel Moreno, Ryan Waldschmidt and a clutch single by Geraldo Perdomo. The game also saw a collision between Max Muncy and Ildemaro Vargas that forced both players from the field.

The night echoed a similar milestone three years ago when a Dominican prospect made his MLB debut, highlighting the ongoing impact of Dominican talent in the major leagues.
