The Diamondbacks made some postseason history in the 3rd inning, becoming the first team to hit a home run four times in the same inning. Geraldo Perdomo (1st), Ketel Marte (2nd), Christian Walker (1st), and Gabriel Moreno (3rd) each connected off Lance Lynn to give Arizona a 4-0 lead.

Lynn came in allowing 44 home runs in 183 2/3 innings, including allowing 16 in 64 innings as a Dodger. The D-backs entered tonight's game with nine home runs in four games this postseason and in their last 15 postseason games overall. With a red hot team coming up against a pitch vulnerable to the long ball, the conditions were ripe for something historic to happen. After those four home runs, the D-backs have the most home runs this postseason with 13. The Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies are tied for second with 10 each.

The D-backs will be looking to close out the Dodgers with a lead in Game 3 of the NLDS at Chase Field after winning the first two games at Dodger Stadium.
