Suárez hits 2 homers for 2nd consecutive game as Diamondbacks beat Cardinals 5-3
Suárez has six multihomer games this season — including a
four-homer game on April 26
— and leads the majors with 20 home runs since June 1. He launched a three-run drive off starter Miles Mikolas (5-7) in the first inning and a solo shot in the third.
The slugger leads the National League with 35 homers, one more than Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani, and his 85 RBIs are tops in the big leagues — two ahead of Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh.
Yohel Pozo, Jordan Walker and Victor Scott II drew consecutive walks to load the bases for St. Louis with no outs in the fifth. Pozo scored on Brendan Donovan's groundout to make it 5-2, but Kelly (9-5) struck out Iván Herrera before Alec Burleson grounded out to end the threat.
Walker's RBI double in the ninth capped the scoring.
Scott hit a leadoff double in the third and stole third base before an RBI single by Herrera made it 4-1.
Key moment
Corbin Carroll hit a leadoff triple in the Arizona first and scored when Geraldo Perdomo reached on a fielder's choice. Perdomo stole second and Josh Naylor drew a walk before Suárez's homer gave the Diamondbacks a 4-0 lead.
Key stat
The 34-year-old Suárez has six home runs and 10 RBIs in the past five games.
Up next
The Cardinals begin a three-game series Monday against Colorado, while Arizona faces Houston.

How will Josh Naylor fit in with the Mariners?
Yahoo Sports senior MLB analysts Jordan Shusterman and Jake Mintz react to Seattle's acquisition of the All-Star first baseman from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Hear the full conversation on the 'Baseball Bar-B-Cast' podcast - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript Now Josh Naylor isn't going to win any MVP awards. He was an All-Star last year. This year, the numbers are a little bit down. He's traded some power for some contact. He only has 11 home runs this year, he hit 31 last year, but he immediately becomes one of the best five hitters in this Mariners lineup, and it comes at a relatively affordable price with two pitching prospects, one of whom is in High A, and one of whom is a reliever. Josh Naylor's floor is really high, and I think that is really where the appeal comes in. Obviously, it's a rental situation, so it's not, you know, a long-term commitment. But when you look at him over the past four years, it's been rock solid. You know, the shape of the production has changed a little bit, but if you look at all the first basemen over the last four seasons, again, we're talking about a big sample size because he generally posts and hasn't had a lot of injuries since his very dramatic leg injury earlier in his career. He is not elite, but he is right at the top of that second tier. The Mariners are basically going to be trying to decide what kind of versatility they want to keep. Do they want to keep as much offensive upside on the roster, which would be keeping Ray, keeping Canzone, who's had a really nice run in right field, and then maybe it's the time is over for Solano, but like I said, then you're really lacking any sort of right-handed element on the bench. So maybe they send down Miles Masterboni and just trust Williamson and Dylan Moore to be the full utility guys. There's a few options here, but my instinct is that it's kind of the end for Solano, but I'm not totally sure. But I do think that Josh Naylor is an everyday first baseman, and I have to imagine that's how they're viewing him. So everything is going to have to fit around that reality. The dude shows up and the dude hits. He basically was exactly what Arizona asked him to do, and you have to give him credit for that, right? He's going to be a free agent. He understands that this is he's been in these postseason races too, you know, with Cleveland. And so he, you know, he'll fit in in that sense, and I trust him to kind of show up. He's a flawed hitter, you know, there are ways where he can kind of go cold, but for the most part, I think he just fits the Mariners for a lot of reasons, again, because of that floor and because of the fact that the lineup is in a better place overall, it looks a lot better to add a guy like him.

Cardinals to debut 'Rivalries' uniforms in Thursday night game vs. Seahawks Week 4
The Arizona Cardinals were one of the teams selected this season to debut a new uniform as part of the Nike "Rivalries" initiative in 2025. The eight teams in the NFC West and AFC West will wear a new "Rivalries" uniform for a game. The Cardinals announced, to no one's surprise, that their rivalry game will be their Week 4 Thursday night game at State Farm Stadium against the Seattle Seahawks. We also know when the uniform reveal will happen — August 28. The video suggests that there will be some sand theme to it. One report has said the uniforms will be sand/tan and red, and that the helmet could be different, too. The tease suggests the logo could have a different look than the tradition red. We will know in a little more than a month. Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire's Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.

Jaguars DE Josh Hines-Allen says his 7-year-old son Wesley is recovering from leukemia
Associated Press JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen announced Friday that his 7-year-old son, Wesley, is recovering from cancer. Hines-Allen and his wife, Kaitlyn, provided the news in a three-minute video released on social media. They said the diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia came after Wesley spiked a fever and started bleeding from a tooth days before last year's season finale, which Hines-Allen missed for personal reasons. 'It just kind of like hit me, and then nothing else mattered after that,' Hines-Allen said in the video. Wesley underwent chemotherapy for six months. He has a few treatments remaining before he gets to ring the bell next month at Nemours Children's Health in Jacksonville. 'Wesley is doing great," Kaitlyn said in the video. "He's swimming every day. He's running around. He's playing sports.' Added Hines-Allen: 'He's got back to being the big brother that he is.' Hines-Allen and his wife also announced Friday that their nonprofit foundation, Four One For All, will launch a season-long campaign called "Four One For Hope" to give back to four cancer-focused non-profits each month of the NFL regular season. Money raised will go to Nemours Children's Hospital in September, the American Cancer Society in October, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Jacksonville in October and the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation in December. 'Our goal is to ensure that families going through something similar feel the same level of love and support as we did,' Hines-Allen said in a statement. Hines-Allen is a two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher who has 53 career sacks in six seasons in Jacksonville, two shy of the franchise record held by Tony Brackens. He signed a five-year, $141.25 million contract that included $76.5 million fully guaranteed before the 2024 season. ___ AP NFL: recommended Item 1 of 3
