Nelson, 2 relievers combine for 11-inning 1-hitter in Diamondbacks' 1-0 victory over Pirates
Nelson surrendered a triple by Tommy Pham off the Clemente Wall in right field with two outs in the second — the ball glancing off right fielder Corbin Carroll's glove before hitting the wall and bounding away — during his six innings of work.
Anthony DeSclafani (1-1) followed with four hitless innings of his own. Kevin Ginkel left the tying run on third in the 11th for his third save.
Suarez, who is the subject of active trade speculation with the deadline approaching next week, lofted a fly ball of Braxton Ashcraft (2-1) just deep enough near the line in right in the top of the 11th to score Carroll.
The Pirates wore a throwback uniform combination to honor former outfielder Dave Parker, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this weekend. Their performance at the plate didn't exactly bring back visions of 'The Cobra' as baseball's lowest scoring team saw its three-game winning streak end.
Pittsburgh starter Mike Burrows retired the first 10 batters he faced and allowed just three singles over six scoreless innings of work before giving way to the bullpen.
Key moment
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. made a diving grab on a sinking liner by Pittsburgh's Bryan Reynolds with Liover Pegeuro on third and one out in the 11th.

England soccer heroine Hannah Hampton reveals heartbreak at loss of grandfather
LONDON (AP) — England soccer heroine Hannah Hampton revealed on Monday the heartbreak of losing her grandfather, after having played a key role in her team's Euro 2025 final win over Spain in Basel, Switzerland. The 24-year-old Chelsea goalkeeper was named player of the match after making two saves in England's 3-1 penalty shoot-out win, a performance that capped a brilliant Women's European Championship campaign by her. However, posting on Instagram alongside a picture of her green England goalkeeper shirt with 'grandpa' printed in the neckline, Hampton wrote: 'Dear Grandpa. Two days before the biggest tournament of my life, you left. 'It still doesn't feel real. I kept thinking when I'd call nannie I'd hear your voice again, one of your jokes, or one of those little comments you'd make that somehow said everything without saying much at all. 'You were one of my biggest supporters. You believed in me before I even knew what this journey would look like,' Hampton added. 'You were always there: watching, encouraging, teaching. You taught me so much, not just about football, but about life. About staying grounded, working hard, being resilient and doing things the right way. 'I miss our chats. I miss you saying, 'only us athletes understand', always with a little smirk like you were in on something special. And you were. You got it. You understood what this meant to me. You understood what it took. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. 'It breaks my heart that you didn't get to see me walk out for our country at my first major tournament. Something you dreamed of for me, something we talked about so many times. I wanted to see your face or hear your voice after the game calling back home. I wanted to share that with you. 'But I know, deep down, you were still there. I felt you with me. In the tunnel. On the pitch. In the tough moments. I heard you in my head when I needed strength. I hope I made you proud, Grandpa.' The Lionesses' shoot-out victory over Spain came after Sunday's match had finished 1-1 following extra time. ___ AP soccer:

Jets quarterback Justin Fields returns to team drills at training camp, 4 days after toe injury
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields returned to team drills Monday, four days after dislocating a toe on his right foot. Fields participated in 7-on-7 drills at training camp Saturday as the team eased him back into practice. Coach Aaron Glenn had said Fields had 'a ways to go' before fully returning. But after a day off Sunday, Fields ran the offense during 11-on-11 drills — and on the first day this summer the Jets wore pads. 'He was limited, but he was limited the way that we want him to be limited,' Glenn said after practice. 'He made some good throws out there. And again, when Justin gets on the field, I mean, we're going to let him be who he is.' Glenn wouldn't specify what he meant when he said Fields was 'limited' and was asked if perhaps the team doesn't want him to run as much as he normally would. 'Just limit him the way we want him to be limited,' Glenn said. 'I'll just keep it at that.' Fields sent Jets fans and social media into a frenzy last Thursday when he dislocated a toe on his right foot early in practice. He was carted from the field to the facility, where he had multiple tests before the team announced the diagnosis — relieving fears that it could be an even more significant injury. After sitting out completely on Friday, Fields threw passes in 7-on-7 drills Saturday and showed no signs of his injured foot ailing him. His first pass in team drills Monday was batted down at the line of scrimmage by Byron Cowart, but Fields had an otherwise solid practice session. 'There are some things that he did today that I was very pleased with,' Glenn said. 'But there's also some things he's got to get better at, too. He knows that.' Gus Hartwig injured Rookie center Gus Hartwig left late in practice with what Glenn said was a knee injury that was being evaluated. Hartwig, signed as an undrafted free agent out of Purdue, went down during team drills and stayed down for several minutes as he was examined on the field. Several teammates took a knee around him before he was able to get up and gingerly walk under his own power to the injury tent. Super D-line Byron Cowart is in his seventh NFL season and now with his seventh team after signing with the Jets as a free agent in March. After stops with New England, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Houston, Miami and Chicago, the 29-year-old Cowart is excited about his defensive linemates in New York.

He looks around at the likes of Quinnen Williams, Will McDonald and Micheal Clemons and can't help but think of a group of superheroes. 'I feel like I'm in 'The Avengers' right now,' a smiling Cowart said. 'I've got Will to my left, I've got Quinnen, Mike and there's a lot of guys around me. The guys in the secondary, the linebackers behind me. 'You've seen the new 'Superman' movie? There's a new villain, he was trying to figure out his powers and what is he good at? So I said that's what I'm trying to figure out — how can I help you guys? It's dope being around everybody flying around.' ___ AP NFL:
