PHOENIX — Ketel Marte hit an inside-the-park home run off former Arizona ace Patrick Corbin, Adam Jones drove in four runs and the Diamondbacks beat the Washington Nationals 7-5 on Sunday.
Marte’s third-inning line drive got by diving center fielder Gerardo Parra and rolled to the wall, near the 413-foot mark in left-center. Marte beat a high throw to home plate, eluding the tag by catcher Yan Gomes, for a solo homer and a 4-2 lead.
It was the 17th inside-the-park home run in club history and second this season.
Arizona had trailed 2-0 on Parra’s two-run homer in the second off Taylor Clarke.
