Glendale Desert Dogs suffered a major setback as they fell in the Arizona Fall League semifinals against Surprise Saguaros. The Desert Dogs were trailing 10-0 when they scored late in the game, but it was not enough to overcome the deficit. The game started two hours and 15 minutes late due to rain, but Surprise capitalized on that advantage, scoring early.
Dodgers minor league pitcher Brooks Auger, a right-hander, did not allow a hit over his 1 2/3 innings, but he walked five of his 10 batters faced, with three of those walks scoring. This inability to control the base-running situation proved costly as Surprise stole four bases off Auger, two each in the second and third innings.
Eduardo Quintero, the Dodgers' minor league standout, led the Dodgers in walks during the Arizona Fall League. Despite hitting .155/.405/.172 in his 19 games, Quintero walked 23 times and struck out 20. His walk rate of 27.4% in the Arizona Fall League was significantly higher than his regular-season rate of 17.4%. Quintero's struggles continued, as he finished the season with eight walks in his final 16 at-bats, exceeding his entire 2025 and 2026 walk totals.
