D-backs Dominate, Clinch Wild Card Hopes | Pittsburgh News

Eduardo Rodriguez dominated with eight shutout innings, striking out two and allowing just five hits, as Arizona’s offense, led by Gabriel Moreno’s 400-foot two-run homer — his 26th straight game getting on base — powered a 3-0 win over Pittsburgh. Max Kepler added an RBI single, while the Diamondbacks’ starters combined for 20.2 scoreless innings in the series. The victory puts Arizona two games ahead of the Pirates in the NL wild card race. For Pittsburgh, it’s another loss in a five-game skid against lefties and their third shutout in seven games. Arizona heads to Cleveland for a weekend series against the Guardians, while the Pirates begin a four-game set against the Reds — with no starter announced yet.
