Overview

  • Eugenio Suárez capped the rally with a go-ahead, two-run double off Raisel Iglesias to secure an 11-10 win and a three-game sweep.
  • Arizona overcame a 10-4 deficit, fueled by Lourdes Gurriel Jr.’s one-out homer and Alek Thomas’s two-run shot in the ninth inning.
  • In Game 2 at Truist Park, Merrill Kelly allowed one hit over seven scoreless innings—nearly a no-hitter—while Braves starter Chris Sale struck out 10 over six innings.
  • The Diamondbacks have won four consecutive games to climb back to .500, as Atlanta has dropped four straight and 11 of its last 14 contests.
  • Ace Corbin Burnes was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow tightness, opening a rotation spot for Ryne Nelson.
