Ketel Marte and Corbin Carroll's home runs power Diamondbacks to 8-3 win over Braves
ATLANTA (AP) — Ketel Marte and Corbin Carroll each homered twice and the Arizona Diamondbacks snapped a five-game road losing streak with an 8-3 win over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night. Zac Gallen (4-7), who had struggled with an 8.02 ERA in his last four starts, surrendered just one earned run in seven innings. He gave up four hits, struck out four and retired the first 10 batters of the game. Marte was 3 for 3 with 3 RBIs and two walks and Corbin Carroll was 3 for 4 with four RBIs and three runs scored. Carroll now has 18 home runs on the season. Spencer Strider (0-4) surrendered three home runs while his ERA climbed to 5.68 for the season after giving up five runs on six hits in five innings. Marte hit his first home run 445 feet into the right field seats in the first inning. Carroll's second home run was a three-run shot in the ninth inning that put the game out of reach. Braves rookie catcher Drake Baldwin hit his sixth home run and threw two runners out in the seventh inning, catching Carroll stealing and picking Marte off first. Baldwin was named the NL's rookie of the month in May. The Braves have lost nine of their last 12. Key moment With two outs and two Atlanta runners on in the eighth inning and Arizona leading 5-3, Diamondbacks center fielder Alek Thomas made a running catch just in front of the wall in center to take a potential game-tying hit away from Marcell Ozuna. Key stat Strider has given up at least one home run in 11 of his last 14 starts (including playoffs), dating to the 2023 season. He has surrendered five in 19 innings this season. Up next Diamondbacks RHP Merrill Kelly (5-2, 3.78 ERA) will face reigning NL Cy Young winner Chris Sale (3-3, 3.06) in the second game of the three-game set on Wednesday. ___ AP MLB:

SEC coaches talk scheduling agreement with Big Ten. What UGA AD Josh Brooks thinks of it
MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla.—Georgia football fans have savored memorable playoff victories against Big Ten teams Michigan in 2021 and Ohio State in 2022 en route to national titles. Could similar matchups happen in the regular season under a proposed scheduling agreement between the conferences? Advertisement Some SEC coaches emerged from the conference spring meetings on Wednesday May 28 at the Sandestin Hilton saying they would support that. For that to happen, the SEC may need to go to a nine-game schedule, play a Big Ten team and then have two other nonconference opponents. 'I think we'd be open to it in the right scenario,' Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks said. The SEC and Big Ten talked about a scheduling agreement, but SEC commissioner Greg Sankey Wednesday night said called a mandate to play 'incredibly difficult….That's a long road to hoe to get to the end of that.' One issue is some SEC schools have in-state rivalries played annually including Georgia-Georgia Tech, South Carolina-Clemson, Florida-Florida State and Kentucky-Louisville, but other SEC teams don't have an in-state rivalry outside the SEC. Advertisement Georgia in some seasons already plays two power conference schools outside of SEC schedule. 'While I say I'd be open to it, I then take a look at what we have on our schedule and see how it affects it,' Brooks said. 'We do have Florida State, Louisville and other teams lined up. All of that fits into that puzzle.' Some of those nonconference games could have to fall off the schedule if a Big Ten partnership were added. The SEC won four straight national titles from 2019-2022, but hasn't had a team in the last two championship games. 'They've won the last two, and you can't deny that,' South Carolina coach Shane Beamer said. Advertisement Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said an SEC-Big Ten alliance would excite TV executives and fan bases. Pittman said another option besides playing nine SEC games would be to play the Big Ten opponent instead of a ninth SEC game. 'I think the league wants us to go to nine,' he said. 'How are we going to do it? Are we going to go to nine playing ourselves or are we going to go to nine and maybe invite another conference to play?' Said Beamer: 'I'm all for it, but it would be like the Kansas City Chiefs playing the Green Bay Packers for our 18th regular season game and the other teams aren't.'
