Diamondbacks beat Nationals 3-1 but lose starting pitcher Corbin Burnes to injury
PHOENIX — Eugenio Suárez homered to cap Arizona's three-run first inning in a 3-1 victory over the Washington Nationals 3-1 on Sunday, but the Diamondbacks lost starting pitcher Corbin Burnes to an injury.
Burnes, who had three of his six strikeouts in the first inning, left with two outs and CJ Abrams on base in the fifth after throwing his 70th pitch. He motioned to the dugout and appeared to mouth, 'My elbow,' to a teammate before walking off the field with a 3-0 lead.
The Diamondbacks, who snapped a four-game skid despite not getting a hit after the first inning, staked Burnes to the lead when Ketel Marte hit a leadoff single against Mitchell Parker and took second on a flyout. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. doubled to score Marte and Suárez followed with his 15th homer — a 466-foot shot to center.
The blast tied Suárez with the Phillies' Kyle Schwarber for the fifth longest this season. The Angels' Mike Trout leads with a 484-footer against the Giants on April 19.
It turned out it was Arizona's final hit.
Jalen Beeks replaced Burnes in the fifth and gave up an RBI single to Nathaniel Lowe before striking out Luis García Jr. to end it.
Cristian Mena was recalled from Triple-A Reno before the game and pitched two scoreless innings for his first win in his third career appearance. Justin Martinez pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save.
The Nationals had their four-game win streak stopped — one short of their season high.
Arizona will monitor the status of Burnes, who was signed to a six-year deal worth $210 million before the season to anchor the staff.
Burnes didn't get his first win until his sixth start when he beat the Mets on April 30. But he went 2-1 in four May starts with a 1.67 ERA.
RHP Trevor Williams starts Tuesday as the Nationals begin a six-game homestand with three against the Cubs, who will send out RHP Cade Horton for his fourth career start.
The Diamondbacks will start RHP Zac Gallen on Tuesday against Braves, who will start RHP Spencer Strider .

Twins hit three homers, send A's to 19th loss in 20 games
Willi Castro hit two homers and Trevor Larnach also went deep to lead the Minnesota Twins to a 10-3 victory over the Athletics on Tuesday night at West Sacramento, Calif. Royce Lewis ended a 0-for-32 drought with a two-run double and Byron Buxton had a two-run single as the Twins beat the Athletics for the second time in two nights to begin a four-game series. Larnach had three of Minnesota's 12 hits. The Athletics dropped their eighth straight game and have lost 19 of their past 20 contests. Minnesota's Pablo Lopez gave up two runs and four hits over five innings. He struck out four and walked three before leaving with right shoulder tightness, exiting after his third warmup pitch ahead of the sixth inning. Three relievers finished up for the Twins, who scored exactly 10 runs for the second night in a row. Minnesota trailed 2-0 before Castro hit a solo homer to left off Jacob Lopez with one out in the fourth. The Twins pushed four runs across in the sixth, with Larnach opening the inning by crushing a 3-1 fastball and sending it 432 feet to right to tie the score. One out later, Castro hit a line shot over the wall in left to give Minnesota a 3-2 lead. It was his second two-homer outing in five games. The bases were loaded later in the inning when Buxton delivered a two-run single off Osvaldo Bido to give the Twins a 5-2 lead. In the bottom of the inning, Shea Langeliers led off with a double, and two groundouts pushed him across. The Twins responded in the seventh as Larnach singled and Carlos Correa walked to start the inning. One out later, Ty France singled off Tyler Ferguson, and Brooks Lee was hit by a pitch to force in Larnach. Lewis then ripped a two-run double off the fence in left-center to make it 8-3. The hit was Lewis' first since May 19. A wild pitch made it 9-3. One inning later, Correa's infield out plated another. The Athletics scored in the first inning when Lawrence Butler led off with a double and Brent Rooker followed with an RBI single. The A's tacked on in the third with Tyler Soderstrom stroked his first major league triple and scored on Langeliers' sacrifice fly. Jacob Lopez struck out a career-best nine in 4 1/3 innings of relief. He gave up five runs, five hits and one walk. Grant Holman served as the opener for the Athletics and gave up one hit and one walk in 1 1/3 scoreless innings. Field Level Media
