Naylor's 2-run double in the 7th helps the Diamondbacks beat the Braves 6-4 to snap a 4-game skid

PHOENIX (AP) — Josh Naylor hit a crucial two-run double in the seventh as part of a three-hit day, Brandon Pfaadt threw six quality innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks snapped a four-game losing streak by beating the Atlanta Braves 6-4 on Sunday.

Naylor's two-out double off Aaron Bummer fell between left fielder Alex Verdugo and center fielder Michael Harris II after it appeared the pair miscommunicated, giving the Diamondbacks a 6-3 cushion.

Atlanta threatened in the ninth after Marcell Ozuna's RBI double cut it to 6-4, but with runners on first and second, closer Justin Martinez retired Ozzie Albies on a flyout to end it.
