WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 All-Star Eduardo Rodr\u00edguez bounced back from his worst start of the season, Gabriel Moreno<\/a> drove in the go-ahead run with a sac fly and the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> beat the Washington Nationals<\/a> 3-2 on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Rodr\u00edguez (9-3) held the Nationals to Dylan Crews<\/a>\u2019 two-run homer in six innings. Arizona has won four straight and 10 of 12 as it fights for an NL wild-card spot.<\/p>\n

Paul Sewald<\/a> worked the ninth for his 24th save.<\/p>\n

Moreno broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh with the sacrifice fly. The catcher also singled twice.<\/p>\n

Crews\u2019 shot to left-center tied it at 2 in the fourth.<\/p>\n

Arizona scored first on Tim Tawa<\/a>\u2019s safety squeeze that deadened in the grass, travelling 10 feet down the first-base line, scoring Max Kepler<\/a> in the second inning. Ketel Marte<\/a>\u2019s fielder\u2019s choice groundout made it 2-0 later in the inning.<\/p>\n

Nationals right-hander Zack Littell<\/a> (7-8) took the loss.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Arizona LHP Micah Bratt (0-0, 5.06 ERA) was set to face All-Star LHP Foster Griffin<\/a> (11-2, 2.68) on Saturday.<\/p>\n
