Ketel Marte homers in his 4th straight game, D-backs extend dominance over

PHOENIX (AP) --- Ketel Marte homered in his fourth straight game, Lourdes
Gurriel Jr. added a three-run homer and the Arizona Diamondbacks extended their
dominance against the San Francisco Giants with a 8-2 win on Tuesday night.
The D-backs are 8-0 against the Giants this season, winning five times in
Arizona and three times in San Francisco.
Gurriel's three-run homer in the first was his second long ball of the season
and barely cleared the fence in left center. It came one pitch after he
successfully challenged a strike call that was subsequently changed to a ball.
Jorge Barrosa walked with the bases loaded and Marte added a two-run single in
the third to push the lead to 6-0. Marte hit a 431-foot solo homer in the
sixth, becoming one of 11 big leaguers to homer in at least four straight games
this year.
San Francisco's Landon Roupp (5-8) had a rough outing, giving up six runs over
2 2/3 innings. The right-hander gave up five hits, walked six and struck out
four.
Brandon Pfaadt (1-1) was back in the starting rotation for the D-backs after
getting demoted to the bullpen early in the season and then spending roughly a
month in Triple-A. He was brought back to the big leagues to try and help
stabilize a pitching staff that recently lost Michael Soroka and Ryne Nelson to
injuries.
His first start since April 11 was a good one --- the righty gave up one run on
three hits over 5 1/3 innings.
San Francisco's Luis Arraez and Rafael Devers hit solo homers. Arraez had three
of the team's four hits and finished a double short of the cycle.
