PHOENIX \u2014 Ketel Marte doubled on the first pitch of the bottom of the 10th inning to score automatic runner Jorge Barrosa as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Atlanta Braves 6-5 on Sunday to split their four-game series at Chase Field.<\/p>\n
Taylor Rashi, making his first appearance of the season, pitched a scoreless 10th for the first win of his MLB career. He was helped by shortstop Geraldo Perdomo, who made a backhanded stop on a sharp grounder while playing in and threw out Mauricio Dub\u00f3n for the second out in the top of the 10th to keep Atlanta’s automatic runner at third.<\/p>\n
Marte greeted Joel Payamps (0-1) with a line-drive double over the head of right fielder Mike Yastrzemski for a walk-off winner in a game with five lead changes.<\/p>\n
Corbin Carroll had three hits for Arizona, including a tiebreaking triple in the seventh, and Ildemaro Vargas came off the bench to contribute a two-run triple. He replaced first baseman Carlos Santana, who left with right groin tightness after a second-inning single.<\/p>\n
Drake Baldwin drove in three runs for Atlanta, including a tying single in the ninth against Jonathan Lo\u00e1isiga. Baldwin hit a home run, his fourth of the season, off Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt.<\/p>\n
Braves third baseman Austin Riley, mired in a 2-for-25 slump entering Sunday and still looking for his first homer of the season, was not in the starting lineup. He later pinch hit, stayed in the game and went 0-for-2.<\/p>\n
The Braves (6-4), who lost 2-1 on Saturday night after winning 17-2 on Thursday and 2-0 on Friday, are playing 13 straight days to open the season. They will begin a three-game series against the host Los Angeles Angels on Monday, when the scheduled starting pitchers are Atlanta left-hander Chris Sale (2-0, 0.75 ERA) and Angels right-hander Jos\u00e9 Soriano (2-0, 0.00).<\/p>\n
