Eugenio Suárez's 2-run double caps Diamondbacks' seven-run ninth in 11-10 win over Braves
ATLANTA (AP) — Eugenio Suárez hit a go-ahead, two-run double off Raisel Iglesias to cap a seven-run ninth inning, and the Arizona Diamondbacks stunned the Atlanta Braves 11-10 on Thursday to sweep a three-game series. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a one-out homer in the ninth and Alek Thomas followed with a two-run shot, both off Scott Blewett, to get the Diamondbacks within 10-7. After Blewett walked the next batter, the Braves brought in closer Iglesias (3-5), who allowed hits to four of the next five to blow a save for the fourth time this season. Ketel Marte homered for Arizona in the eighth and had an RBI infield single in the ninth that made it 10-8. After Iglesias got a popup for the second out, Ildemaro Vargas hit an RBI single and Suárez completed the rally with his line drive to left. Shelby Miller worked the bottom half to pick up his sixth save for Arizona, which has won four straight. Kendall Graveman (1-0) pitched the eighth. Ronald Acuña Jr., Austin Riley and Drake Baldwin homered for the Braves, who have lost four straight and 11 of 14. Atlanta had scored just five runs in its previous three games but finished with 12 hits, eight for extra bases. Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt allowed six runs (five earned) in three innings. He has an 11.09 ERA in his last five starts. Tommy Henry surrendered three homers in relief. Key moment Marcell Ozuna hit into a game-ending double play to boos from the Truist Park crowd. Key stat Ozzie Albies extended his on-base streak to 20 games with a walk. He has hits in 17 of the 20. Up next Atlanta's Spencer Schwellenbach (4-4, 3.13 ERA) will open a three-game series at San Francisco against Hayden Birdsong (3-1, 2.37) on Friday. The Diamondbacks had not announced who will oppose the Reds' Nick Lodolo (4-4, 3.10) in the opener of a series at Cincinnati. ___ AP MLB:

Diamondbacks promote top prospect Jordan Lawlar after hot start in Triple-A
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks called up top prospect Jordan Lawlar on Monday as they fight for position in the National League West division. The D-backs also reinstated reliever Kendall Graveman to the active roster. The veteran right-hander hasn't pitched this season because of a strained right lumbar. The 22-year-old Lawlar likely will play a variety of positions for Arizona, including second base, shortstop and third. He was hitting .336 with six homers, 31 RBIs and 13 stolen bases at Triple-A Reno. The Diamondbacks had a 21-20 record entering Monday's game in San Francisco, which was fourth in NL West behind the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and Giants. Lawlar played in the big leagues briefly in 2023, helping the Diamondbacks in a limited role during their surprise run to the World Series. He hit .129 in 31 at-bats. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2021 amateur draft missed much of last season with injuries. To make room on the roster, the D-backs designated infielder Garrett Hampson and reliever José Castillo for assignment. ___ AP MLB:
