Christian Walker hit two home runs, including a game-ending two-run shot in the 10th inning, as the Arizona Diamondbacks stung the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 in Phoenix on Tuesday.

Six Arizona pitchers held the Dodgers to zero RBIs through nine innings. The victory came after a 1-hour, 55-minute delay at the outset, as a colony of bees formed on the netting behind home plate. A beekeeper removed the cluster to a standing ovation, and he stayed to throw out the first pitch before play ultimately began.Will Smith gave the Dodgers a brief lead with a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning off Scott McGough (1-3), who later picked up the win. The Dodgers' loss included three strikeouts for Shohei Ohtani, his most since joining his new team and one off his career high.

Walker's game-winning blast, his seventh homer of the season, came on the third pitch of the home half of the 10th. Nabil Crismatt (1-1) served up the long ball.

Astros 10, Guardians 9 (10 innings)

Pinch hitter Victor Caratini slugged a two-run, walk-off home run with two outs in the 10th inning, lifting host Houston over Cleveland.
