Chris Taylor, who faced an 0-2 count, drew the first free pass, and Russell Martin, Verdugo and Beaty followed with walks. D-backs starter Taylor Clarke gave up three runs on five hits over 3 2/3 innings, but left-hander Alex Young restored order by throwing 2 1/3 scoreless innings. The Arizona bullpen pitched 4 1/3 scoreless innings before Holland’s meltdown. Arizona made it 3-0 in the second inning on Ahmed’s two-run home run, his eighth long ball of the year. Stripling helped himself in the Dodgers’ half of the second inning with an RBI single.
