LOS ANGELES -- Catcher Yasmani Grandal hit a home run in the bottom of the 13th inning to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 1-0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday in front of 48,136 at Dodger Stadium.

Grandal propelled a 95 mph fastball from right-hander Evan Marshall (0-2) into the left-field stands to give left-hander J.P. Howell (1-1) the win.

Arizona put the potential winning run at third base in the top of the 13th inning. Catcher Jordan Pacheco and second baseman Aaron Hill hit back-to-back singles with two out to put runners at first and third bases.

Then with shortstop Cliff Pennington at bat, Pacheco broke for home plate when Howell threw a low breaking ball that ricocheted off Grandal's shinguards. Grandal slid to retrieve the ball and underhanded it to Howell, who executed a swipe tag while slipping on home plate to get Pacheco out.

Both teams began their respective halves of the 10th inning by getting lead-off doubles but failed to bring those runners home.

First baseman Paul Goldschmidt lined a double to start the Diamondbacks' half of the 10th against right-hander Sergio Santos, who then struck out right fielder Mark Trumbo and third baseman Yasmany Tomas. After second baseman Chris Owings received an intentional walk, left-handed reliever Paco Rodriguez stifled the threat by getting catcher Jordan Pacheco to ground out.

Right fielder Andre Either followed suit for the Dodgers in the 10th by hitting a double down the right-field line. One out later, Grandal walked. But right-hander Enrique Burgos struck out left fielder Scott Van Slyke and made center fielder Joc Pederson ground out to end the inning.

Arizona right-hander Chase Anderson did not allow a hit until the fourth inning, retiring 13 of the final 15 batters he faced and struck out seven in six shutout innings. Anderson conceded only one walk and two hits. hit one batter and threw a wild pitch.

The Dodgers, who placed just one running in scoring position in the first eight innings, had a chance to establish a second in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, second baseman Howie Kendrick lined a double into right field. When he saw Trumbo bobble the ball momentarily, Kendrick tried to advance to third base. But second baseman Chris Owings relayed Trumbo's throw to Tomas, who tagged Kendrick out.

Left-hander Brett Anderson made the start for Los Angeles and pitched six shutout innings. Anderson induced 10 groundouts, including two double plays, and issued no walks while striking out four and allowing five hits.

The Diamondbacks only put one runner in scoring position during the first nine innings. Shortstop Nick Ahmed began the top of the sixth with a lead-off single, then reached second base when left fielder Ender Inciarte grounded out. But Anderson struck out center fielder A.J. Pollock to finish the inning.
