PHOENIX — – Ketel Marte<\/a> hit a two-run homer, Geraldo Perdomo<\/a> drove in three runs and the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> finished a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants<\/a> with a 6-3 win on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Merrill Kelly<\/a> (4-3) gave up three runs on eight hits over six innings, striking out four, for his third straight quality start. The veteran right-hander threw the first complete game of his career<\/a> in his previous start against the Rockies last week.<\/p>\n

Arizona has won four in a row and five of six. Paul Sewald<\/a> worked the ninth for his 11th save.<\/p>\n

Casey Schmitt<\/a> homered in the first to give the Giants a 1-0 lead. It was his ninth of the season.<\/p>\n

The D-backs pushed ahead 3-2 in the third when Marte went deep for the second straight game, lining a two-run shot over the right-center fence. The three-time All-Star hit a game-ending, three-run homer<\/a> in the ninth on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Marte scored three runs and reached base four times, finishing a triple shy of the cycle. Rookies Jose Fernandez<\/a> and Ryan Waldschmidt<\/a> each added two singles.<\/p>\n

Arizona went ahead 6-3 in the fifth after Ildemaro Vargas<\/a>‘ RBI groundout and Perdomo’s two-run double down the right-field line.<\/p>\n

The Giants have lost six of eight to fall to 20-30. Tyler Mahle<\/a> (1-6) gave up six runs on eight hits over five innings, striking out six.<\/p>\n

Matt Chapman<\/a> had two of the Giants’ eight hits.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

The D-backs send LHP Eduardo Rodriguez<\/a> (4-1, 2.53 ERA) to the mound at home against the Rockies on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Giants are off Thursday. They return home to face the White Sox on Friday and will start RHP Davis Martin<\/a> (6-1, 1.61) against Chicago RHP Trevor McDonald<\/a> (2-0, 2.37).<\/p>\n
