Following a three-game series in early August, the Diamondbacks and Dodgers engaged in a closely contested matchup. On August 7, the Dodgers ended a seven-game losing streak with a 2-1 extra-innings victory, secured by a 10th-inning infield single from Shohei Ohtani. While Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a strong pitching performance, reliever Edwin Díaz faced scrutiny after failing to secure a save by allowing back-to-back triples in the ninth inning. Manager Dave Roberts noted offensive inconsistencies despite the win, as the team struggles with a 1-8 record in August. On August 8, the Diamondbacks secured their first season series victory over the Dodgers since 2018 by winning the series finale 4-2. Pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez recorded nine strikeouts over seven innings, and Ketel Marte contributed a two-run home run in the first inning against starter Justin Wrobleski. Although the Dodgers attempted a comeback with hits from Andy Pages and Kyle Tucker, they were unable to close the gap. The loss marked the first time since late 2025 that the Dodgers had lost three consecutive series. Amidst these team struggles, the Dodgers are managing several rotation injuries, including Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow. Regarding Shohei Ohtani, he has begun playing catch on the field as he recovers from a knee injury, though manager Dave Roberts indicated his return to pitching duties will not occur for several weeks.
