CINCINNATI (AP) --- Blake Dunn dropped a fly ball in the ninth inning to allow
the go-ahead run to score in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 5-2 victory over the
Cincinnati Reds on Friday night.
With runners on first and second and two outs, Geraldo Perdomo's fly ball to
left went off Dunn's glove for an error, and Gabriel Moreno scored to make it
3-2. Jordan Lawlar drove in two more runs with a single.
Lawlar, who was reinstated Friday after missing 61 games with a fractured right
wrist, crashed into the center field wall to rob Matt McLain of an extra-base
hit in the fourth.
Paul Sewald had his 16th save in 17 chances for Arizona. Kevin Ginkel (2-2) got
the win. Brock Burke (2-3) took the loss.
The Reds have dropped seven of eight and 11 of 14.
Eduardo Rodriguez threw 40 pitches in the first inning with three walks but the
Reds didn't score despite loading the bases with one out.
Noelvi Marte led off the second with his first home run of the season to put
the Reds ahead 1-0. It was Marte's first home run since Sept. 24, 2025, after a
40-game stint at Triple-A this season.
Nolan Arenado's sacrifice fly in the third inning tied it at 1 and snapped a
21-inning scoreless streak for the Diamondbacks.
Rodriguez pitched 2 2/23 innings with one earned run allowed and five walks on
85 pitches.
Lawlar was hit by a pitch from Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo and scored the
tying run on LuJames Groover's single in the sixth.
Lodolo allowed two earned runs in 5 1/3 innings with a walk and five strikeouts
and hit three batters.
The Diamondbacks had the bases loaded in the eighth but Reds catcher Tyler
Stephenson won an ABS challenge and Ketel Marte was called out on strikes to
end the inning.

Diamondbacks RHP Zac Gallen (3-5, 5.43) was set to face LHP Andrew Abbott (4-4,
4.10) on Saturday.
