Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez discusses earning his way into the top three of all-time home runs by Venezuelan-born players.
Eugenio Suárez hit a go-ahead, two-run double off Raisel Iglesias to cap a seven-run ninth inning, and the Arizona Diamondbacks stunned the Atlanta Braves 11-10 to sweep a three-game series.
In their last four series, they are 8-4 with wins against the Braves, Mariners, and Padres. Their playoff odds on FanGraphs have gone from 25% to 37% in their last home stand. They still have four teams ahead of them, but they're one strong run away from being right in the thick of the race.
Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez seeks his first win since April 17. In his last outing in Cincinnati, he went five innings, allowing two runs.
Nick Pivetta held Arizona to two hits over seven innings and Jake Cronenworth homered as the San Diego Padres defeated the Diamondbacks 8-2 on Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak.
The guy who made sure the vibes were always good in the Mariners clubhouse sent his former team back to Seattle with a very opposite feeling.
