CINCINNATI \u2014 Blake Dunn dropped a fly ball in the ninth inning to allow the go-ahead run to score in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ 5-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night.<\/p>\n
With runners on first and second and two outs, Geraldo Perdomo’s fly ball to left went off Dunn’s glove for an error, and Gabriel Moreno scored to make it 3-2. Jordan Lawlar drove in two more runs with a single.<\/p>\n
Lawlar, who was reinstated Friday after missing 61 games with a fractured right wrist, crashed into the center field wall to rob Matt McLain of an extra-base hit in the fourth.<\/p>\n
Paul Sewald had his 16th save in 17 chances for Arizona. Kevin Ginkel (2-2) got the win. Brock Burke (2-3) took the loss.<\/p>\n
The Reds have dropped seven of eight and 11 of 14.<\/p>\n
Eduardo Rodriguez threw 40 pitches in the first inning with three walks, but the Reds didn’t score despite loading the bases with one out.<\/p>\n
Noelvi Marte led off the second with his first home run of the season to put the Reds ahead 1-0. It was Marte’s first home run since Sept. 24, 2025, after a 40-game stint at Triple-A this season.<\/p>\n
Nolan Arenado’s sacrifice fly in the third inning tied it at 1 and snapped a 21-inning scoreless streak for the Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez pitched 2 2\/23 innings with one earned run allowed and five walks on 85 pitches.<\/p>\n
Lawlar was hit by a pitch from Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo and scored the tying run on LuJames Groover’s single in the sixth.<\/p>\n
Lodolo allowed two earned runs in 5 1\/3 innings with a walk and five strikeouts and hit three batters.<\/p>\n
The Diamondbacks had the bases loaded in the eighth but Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson won an ABS challenge and Ketel Marte was called out on strikes to end the inning.<\/p>\n
