James McCann and Ketel Marte homer in 4-run 9th as Diamondbacks rally to beat Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas — James McCann and Ketel Marte homered with two outs in a four-run ninth inning for Arizona to beat the Texas Rangers 6-4 on Wednesday in a game that began with the Diamondbacks facing former teammate Merrill Kelly. Phil Maton (2-4), like Kelly a trade deadline acquisition two weeks ago, struck out the first three batters he faced after taking over with two outs in the eighth. McCann then homered, Blaze Alexander was hit by a pitch and Geraldo Perdomo walked on four pitches before Marte's 23rd homer.

James McCann and Ketel Marte homer in 4-run 9th as Diamondbacks rally to beat Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — James McCann and Ketel Marte homered with two outs in a four-run ninth inning for Arizona to beat the Texas Rangers 6-4 on Wednesday in a game that began with the Diamondbacks facing former teammate Merrill Kelly. Phil Maton (2-4), like Kelly a trade deadline acquisition two weeks ago, struck out the first three batters he faced after taking over with two outs in the eighth. McCann then homered, Blaze Alexander was hit by a pitch and Geraldo Perdomo walked on four pitches before Marte's 23rd homer. The 413-foot shot was Marte's fourth hit of the game, and came after his solo homer in the ninth inning Tuesday night for a 3-2 win. Perdomo hit a solo homer in the fifth of the series finale, two innings after scoring on one of Marte's three singles off Kelly, who exited after six innings with a 3-2 lead. John Curtiss (2-0), the third Arizona reliever, allowed Josh Jung's RBI double in the eighth. Andrew Saalfrank worked a perfect ninth for his first career save. Evan Carter had two hits in his return for Texas after missing 10 games (back spasms). He had an RBI single in the first and doubled ahead of Jake Burger's 12th homer in the fourth that made it 3-1. Key moment Marte was easily thrown out trying to score from second on Adrian Del Castillo's single to end the fifth and keep Texas up 3-2. Right fielder Ezequiel Duran's one-hop throw got to catcher Jonah Heim with Marte still several steps from the plate. Key stat Marte has an NL-best .329 batting average in road games. Up next The Dbacks open a four-game series Thursday night at Colorado, after sweeping the Rockies in three games at home last weekend. Jacob deGrom (10-5, 2.86 ERA), who has lost his last three starts, pitches Friday night when Texas plays at Toronto. ___ AP MLB:

Injury-Depleted Diamondbacks Place Ildemaro Vargas on IL, Give James McCann First Start This Season
The injury-depleted Arizona Diamondbacks recalled infielder Blaze Alexander from Triple-A Reno and placed infielder Ildemaro Vargas on the 10-day injured list with a right foot fracture before Wednesday's series final against the Chicago White Sox. Vargas suffered a broken fifth metatarsal when he was hit by a pitch from Mike Vasil in the second inning of Arizona's 4–1 win Tuesday night. He is batting .286 with one home run and four RBIs in 10 games. Catcher James McCann was playing in his first major league game of the season Wednesday, starting behind the plate. The 35-year-old signed with Arizona on Monday following his release from the Atlanta Braves. McCann signed a minor league deal with the Braves on April 8 and was released Sunday. Over 41 games with Triple-A Gwinnett, he hit .297 with six homers and 30 RBIs. McCann, who is in his 12th season in the majors, was selected to the 2019 All-Star Game. That season with the White Sox, he set career highs in hits (120), homers (18), and RBIs (60). He has a .241 career batting average with 92 homers and 373 RBIs in 917 games with the Tigers, White Sox, Mets, and Orioles. 'I'm glad he's here,' manager Torey Lovullo said. 'I've admired him from across the field through a couple of his organizations.' The Diamondbacks remain without center fielder Corbin Carroll. The 2023 NL Rookie of the Year went on the injured list retroactive to Saturday with a chip fracture in his left wrist, and a timeline for his return is unknown. Carroll hasn't played since a pitch hit him in the left hand last Wednesday in Toronto. Infielder Eugenio Suarez was still out of the lineup Wednesday after being hit on the hand by a pitch from Shane Smith on Monday. First baseman Josh Naylor returned after injuring his shoulder on a swing Monday and sitting out Tuesday.
