Former Arizona Wildcat Mark Melancon (1-6) gave up the homer in blowing his second save in 13 opportunities.
John Perrotto Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Rookie Jack Suwinski hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied past the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-1 on Saturday.
Suwinski leads NL rookies in home runs. It has been an impressive showing for the 23-year-old right fielder, who was called up from Double-A Altoona in April in an emergency situation when Reynolds had a one-day stint on the COVID-19 injury list. “He was keeping hitters off-balance, and that’s what hitting is, trying to stay on-balance and have good timing,” Suwinski said. “He was doing a good job of mixing spots and speeds and location.”
Marte hit a one-out double and moved to third when shortstop Rodolfo Castro fumbled Christian Walker’s grounder for an error. Marte scored on Roansy Contreras’ wild pitch on the last pitch of a 10-pitch walk to Jordan Luplow with two outs.Contreras pitched well in his fourth career start, allowing one unearned run and four hits in 5 2/3 innings while striking out eight and walking two.
Trainer's roomDiamondbacks: Luplow was in the starting lineup for the first time in a week as the DH. He did pinch-hit Tuesday against Atlanta.
