ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Michael Soroka allowed three singles over 6 1\/3 scoreless innings, and Geraldo Perdomo drove home the game\u2019s only run three batters in as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Texas Rangers 1-0 on Monday night.<\/p>\n
Perdomo\u2019s RBI double one-hopped into the right field corner after Corbin Carroll hit a one-out double to left center in the first. The Diamondbacks have won three straight for the first time since mid-April.<\/p>\n
Soroka (5-2) was on the other end of a 1-0 game in his previous start, losing to Pittsburgh on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Paul Sewald pitched the ninth inning for his ninth save in as many opportunities.<\/p>\n
Sewald retired the first two batters before facing Corey Seager, who homered off him to tie up Game 1 of the 2023 World Series and went on to be named MVP of the Rangers’ five-game win. Seager, who has gone 19 at-bats without a hit, was hit by Sewald on an 0-1 sweeper down and in. Sewald then got Josh Jung, who has six hits in his past two games, to fly out to center.<\/p>\n
Texas threw a five-man bullpen game after scheduled starter Nathan Eovaldi reported left side soreness Monday morning and was scratched. Jakob Junis (0-1) made his first start since 2024 with Cincinnati. Junis\u2019 2 2\/3 innings, 31 pitches and 10 batters faced were season highs.<\/p>\n
Diamondbacks pitchers have allowed just two runs in the past three games.<\/p>\n
The Rangers sent in pinch-runner Sam Haggerty at first base in the eighth inning with one out, and Taylor Clarke picked him off before delivering his next pitch.<\/p>\n
Arizona\u2019s run was the first allowed by Junis in 10 home outings this season.<\/p>\n
The run snapped Texas pitching\u2019s string of 20 consecutive scoreless innings, tied for fourth longest in the major leagues this season.<\/p>\n
The Rangers went into play with a majors-best 2.80 bullpen ERA..<\/p>\n
Ketel Marte played in his 1,092nd career game for the Diamondbacks, tying Paul Goldschmidt for second place behind Luis Gonzalez (1,194).<\/p>\n
Diamondbacks RHP Zac Gallen (1-3, 4.70 ERA) will face Rangers LHP MacKenzie Gore (2-3, 5.18) on Tuesday night in a matchup of pitchers who haven\u2019t won since early April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Michael Soroka allowed three singles over 6 1\/3 scoreless innings, and Geraldo Perdomo drove…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[150,152,151,84138,40381,105866,84001,91528,39085,84005,59909,57328,105868,941,23681,202,103457,84139,196,42094,49691,942,77359,84140,105867],"class_list":["post-291862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arlington","tag-arlington","tag-arlington-headlines","tag-arlington-news","tag-corbin-carroll","tag-corey-seager","tag-diamondbacks-rangers-score","tag-geraldo-perdomo","tag-jake-junis","tag-josh-jung","tag-ketel-marte","tag-luis-gonzalez","tag-mackenzie-gore","tag-mike-soroka","tag-nathan-eovaldi","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-paul-goldschmidt","tag-paul-sewald","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40774-ap-arizona-sports-only","tag-product-40815-ap-texas-sports-only","tag-sam-haggerty","tag-taylor-clarke","tag-zac-gallen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/288943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
