Diamondbacks beat Athletics 7-2 to end six-game losing streak - NBC Sports

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. came through with a clutch two-run single in the fifth inning, propelling the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 7-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics. This win snapped a frustrating six-game losing streak for the Diamondbacks. Ketel Marte, Alek Thomas, and Corbin Carroll each contributed with home runs, showing a much-needed offensive spark. Zac Gallen pitched effectively, allowing only two runs through six innings, supported by a solid bullpen effort from Andrew Saalfrank, Kendall Graveman, and Kevin Ginkel, who all recorded scoreless innings.

The game started with Marte hitting a solo homer, but the A's quickly took a 2-1 lead after back-to-back doubles in the third. However, the Diamondbacks rallied in the fifth, with Gurriel's single giving them a lead they wouldn't relinquish. With their second win in 11 games, Arizona is hopeful this victory can mark the start of a turnaround as they prepare for their next matchup against a yet-to-be-named starter from Oakland.
