PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks walloped Cincinnati Reds All-Star starting pitcher Andrew Abbott from the first inning-on during Saturday’s game.
Abbott only completed four innings with a career-high seven runs allowed, six of which were earned. The top six hitters in Arizona’s lineup started the game 8-for-15 off the southpaw, who entered Saturday with the second lowest ERA in the National League (2.28), only trailing Paul Skenes.
The Diamondbacks put together a loud, two-out rally in the first inning with a Corbin Carroll ground-rule double, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. RBI single, Gabriel Moreno RBI double and Blaze Alexander RBI ground-rule double. All four balls were hit over 100 mph.
Gurriel hit a two-run home run in the third inning, and Geraldo Perdomo crushed a 423-foot, two-run blast in the fourth. It was the furthest ball Perdomo had hit right-handed in his career (399 being the previous high). Perdomo has reached base safely in 19 of 21 games played in August.
