Overview

  • Arizona picked up a 5-1 win on Sunday by erupting for four runs in the fourth inning to deny Los Angeles a series sweep.
  • Jose Herrera’s two-run double highlighted the decisive rally after Yoán Moncada misplayed a grounder to open the inning.
  • Merrill Kelly struck out six and allowed one run over five innings despite issuing four walks for the Diamondbacks.
  • The Angels had taken the first two games on Friday’s Travis d’Arnaud pinch-hit walk-off single and Saturday’s 10-5 victory powered by Mike Trout’s 395th career homer.
  • Los Angeles still won the series 2-1 but heads into the All-Star break just below .500, while Arizona snapped a skid with its fourth victory in 12 games.
