Gabriel Moreno hit an RBI double down the right-field foul line, Perdomo added his two-run double, Ketel Marte hit an RBI groundout and Corbin Carroll brought home the final run on a sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh reliever Yohan Ramirez was tagged for all five runs and recorded just one out. <\/p>\n<p>Rodriguez (3-0) didn&#8217;t give up a hit until the fifth inning when Jared Triolo lined a two-out single to left. The veteran left hander struck out seven and walked three. The performance was a welcome sight for the D-backs, who came in with a 5.07 ERA, which was the worst mark in the National League.<\/p>\n<p>The D-backs jumped ahead 2-0 in the first inning after Adrian Del Castillo&#8217;s sacrifice fly and Ildemaro Vargas&#8217; RBI double. The 34-year-old Vargas \u2014 who was recently named MLB&#8217;s NL Player of the Month for March\/April \u2014 has a .377 batting average and a 1.051 OPS this season.<\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh&#8217;s Bubba Chandler (1-4) fought control issues all night, giving up two runs over five innings. He gave up just two hits, but walked six and struck out four.<\/p>\n<p>The Pirates were without reliever Chris Devenski, who was suspended two games and fined by Major League Baseball for intentionally throwing at Cincinnati Reds rookie Sal Stewart on Saturday. <\/p>\n<p>Manager Don Kelly was suspended one game because of the incident and also missed Tuesday&#8217;s contest. Bench coach Kristopher Negron replaced him.<\/p>\n<p>The D-backs will start RHP Michael Soroka (4-1, 4.70 ERA) on Wednesday while the Pirates counter with RHP Paul Skenes (4-2, 3.18).<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP MLB: https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eduardo Rodriguez gave up just two hits over seven strong innings, Geraldo Perdomo added a two-run double and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":185044,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[74037,11199,73,75,74,10997,726],"class_list":["post-185043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-arizona-diamondbacks","tag-major-league-baseball","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-pittsburgh-pirates","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185043"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185043\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/185044"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
