Eugenio Suarez homers, drives in 3 runs to help the Diamondbacks rally past the Braves, 7-5

PHOENIX (AP) — Eugenio Suárez had a homer, double and three RBIs, Geraldo Perdomo added three hits and a stellar defensive play in the ninth inning, and the Arizona Diamondbacks outlasted the Atlanta Braves 7-5 on Wednesday night.

The Diamondbacks beat the Braves for the first time this season after Atlanta won the first five meetings.

Paul Sewald worked the ninth for his 12th save of the season, breaking a streak of three blown saves. He was helped by Perdomo, with the shortstop diving to his right for a grounder before jumping to his feet and throwing to first to get Travis d'Arnaud for the first out.
