In a stunning upset, the Arizona Diamondbacks crushed the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-0 Wednesday night at Chase Field, powered by a historic third inning. Ryne Nelson hurled five shutout innings, while Christian Walker and Ketel Marte homered to lead the charge.

The D-backs' third inning was a display of offensive dominance, as they set a new franchise record with four home runs. Walker and Marte each went deep, while Sergio Alcántara and Jake McCarthy also connected for solo shots. The barrage of homers gave the Diamondbacks a commanding 6-0 lead, which they never relinquished.

Despite the Dodgers' struggles in the third inning, they did mount a rally in the fourth inning. However, Nelson buckled down and shut them down, allowing only one hit over the final four innings to secure the victory.

The win marks the first series victory for the Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium since 2018, and it further solidifies the team's surprising start to the season. The Dodgers, on the other hand, will look to rebound from this disappointing defeat and regain their form as the season progresses.
