Burnes retired the first 11 batters faced before Freddie Freeman reached on a two-out single in the fourth inning.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers had another baserunner in the fifth inning when Max Muncy walked, but that was followed by Tommy Edman and Dalton Rushing both striking out.<\/p>\n<p>Singles by Miguel Rojas and Mookie Betts wound up changing the Dodgers\u2019 fortune in the bottom of the sixth. But note before Burnes struck out Freeman and got ahead 1-2 against Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n<p>Burnes then hung a slider that Hern\u00e1ndez crushed for what held as the game-winning three-run home run.<\/p>\n<p>When Burnes faced the Dodgers at Chase Field, he held them scoreless over seven innings. That came in a return from being skipped over in one turn through the rotation and receiving a cortisone injection to treat right shoulder inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>He had pitched 18 consecutive innings without allowing a run since returning.<\/p>\n<p>Burnes\u2019 effort kept pressure on May,\u00a0who like in their matchup in Arizona earlier this month, also pitched well. May allowed two runs over seven innings in that outing, a tough-luck loss.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday night, he limited the Diamondbacks to just one run. That came on Ketel Marte\u2019s solo homer in the fourth inning.<\/p>\n<p>May tied a season high with strikeouts, marking a second consecutive start with that many.<\/p>\n<h2>Dodgers bullpen answers call<\/h2>\n<p>A beleaguered group of Dodgers relief pitchers backed May with three scoreless innings. Jack Dreyer and Lou Trivino combined to pitch the seventh inning, and the right-hander remained in the game in the eighth.<\/p>\n<p>Tanner Scott pitched for the second night in a row and this time converted the save opportunity without issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 21, 2025; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Dustin May (85) throws during the first inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium.
