Diamondbacks beat Nationals 3-1 but lose starting pitcher Corbin Burnes to injury
PHOENIX (AP) — 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 (4-5) 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 (1-0) 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.
Key moment
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.
Key stat
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.

Diamondbacks put RHP Corbin Burnes on 15-day IL with right elbow inflammation
ATLANTA (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks ace Corbin Burnes has been put on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, two days after leaving a start early against the Washington Nationals. Arizona led 3-0 in the top of the fifth inning when Burnes allowed a single by CJ Abrams with two outs. The right-hander then gestured toward the dugout with his glove and yelled in frustration. Burnes allowed a run and four hits in 4 2/3 innings, with a walk and six strikeouts. He is 3-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 11 starts this season. Arizona signed Burnes to a $210 million, six-year contract before the season, and the 30-year-old has been very durable over the past several years. He's made at least 28 starts in every season since he won the 2021 National League Cy Young Award for the Milwaukee Brewers. The D-backs called up left-hander Tommy Henry to take Burnes' spot on the roster. He's pitched in one game this season, throwing 2 2/3 scoreless innings.
