Overview
- The Diamondbacks completed a three-game home sweep of the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, May 20, with a 6-3 win that extended their season-best-tying four-game winning streak.
- Ketel Marte has driven the surge, going 3-for-3 with a homer and three runs scored on May 20 after hitting his first career walk-off homer the night before, a stretch coverage describes as changing the team's tempo at the top of the lineup.
- Geraldo Perdomo delivered the decisive blow by capping a three-run fifth with a two-run double after Marte's bunt single and an RBI groundout loaded the bases.
- Merrill Kelly allowed three runs in six innings, four relievers combined for three hitless innings, Paul Sewald recorded his 11th save, and Giants starter Tyler Mahle was charged with all six Arizona runs.
- The immediate result is a morale boost and momentum swing for Arizona, and the club will be watched to see if Marte sustains this form and if the pitching staff can keep delivering late-inning control over the coming weeks.
