Max Muncy capped a three-run 10th inning with a game-ending sacrifice fly and the Los Angeles Dodgers ended a season-high four-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks.

Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto limited the Diamondbacks to one hit over seven scoreless innings in a game where six of the seven runs were scored after the first out of the ninth inning.

Tommy Edman had an RBI double in the 10th for the Dodgers and Will Smith brought home the game-tying run in the inning when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Smith also had an RBI double in the fourth.

Corbin Carroll hit a two-run home run in the 10th inning for a short-lived 3-1 lead. The Diamondbacks were two outs away from being shut out before Gabriel Moreno tied the game 1-1 with a home run in the ninth off Dodgers left-hander Tanner Scott. Carroll's home run also came off Scott.

The Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte ended Yamamoto's no-hit bid with a single to the wall in right-center to lead off the seventh. Marte advanced to second on a wild pitch and to third on a ground before leaving the tying run 90 feet away when Yamamoto struck out Pavin Smith.

Yamamoto entered Tuesday's outing leading the National League in opponents' batting average at .187. His 2.12 ERA was third, along with his 0.98 WHIP and .256 opponents' on-base percentage.

The Dodgers got to Arizona right-hander Ryne Nelson when Freddie Freeman and Smith delivered back-to-back doubles with two outs in the fourth inning for a 1-0 lead. Smith is second in the National League with a .339 batting average.

Moreno's home run in the ninth inning off Scott was his third of the season, all against the Dodgers. Carroll's home run in the 10th inning was his team-leading 15th.

Dodgers left-hander Anthony Banda (4-1) recorded the last out in the top of the 10th inning. Arizona right-hander Shelby Miller (3-1) gave up three runs (two earned) on one hit and two walks in the 10th.
