Ketel Marte hit a 431-foot homer with one out in the ninth after Corbin Carroll homered in a two-run eighth as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 on Thursday in Phoenix to gain a split of a four-game series.
Marte hit the first pitch he saw from Tanner Scott (1-3) deep down the left field line for his 11th homer of the season to cap the Diamondbacks' comeback.
Carroll went deep off Will Klein to open the eighth before Gabriel Moreno walked and Ryan Wildschmidt hit a one-out single to left. Alex Vesia replaced Klein and gave up a two-out single to Geraldo Perdomo, tying the game 2-2.
Carroll finished with three hits and Perdomo and Waldschmidt had two apiece for the Diamondbacks, who had lost five of their previous six games.
Arizona reliever Paul Sewald (2-4) pitched around Will Smith's two-out double in the ninth.
Ryan Ward and Dalton Rushing had run-scoring hits in an injury-marred fifth inning to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead that Justin Wrobleski nursed through six innings.
The game was delayed for several minutes with two outs in the fifth inning after the Dodgers' Max Muncy collided with Arizona first baseman Ildemaro Vargas while running out a single to deep first.
Muncy beat Vargas to the bag by a half-step and the two met head-on, with Muncy's forearms striking Vargas in the chest. Both remained on the ground and were attended to by medical staff before leaving the game.
Muncy was removed with shortness of breath and to rule out a concussion, the Dodgers announced. Vargas was holding his left hip while on the ground and left under his own power.
When play resumed, Arizona right fielder Carroll misjudged a line drive by Ward that went over his head for a double, scoring pinch runner Santiago Espinal for the first run.
Center fielder Waldschmidt misjudged Rushing's high pop into left-center that fell for the single to drive in Ward for a 2-0 lead.
Wrobleski gave up six hits and struck out four without a walk in six scoreless innings for the Dodgers, who had won 16 of their prior 20 games.
Diamondbacks starter Ryne Nelson gave up two runs on five hits in seven innings. He logged three strikeouts and two walks.
Nelson retired the first 12 he faced on 43 pitches before Kyle Tucker singled to right leading off the fifth. Tucker was erased on a double play, bringing up Muncy.
