Overview
- The Diamondbacks completed a three-game home sweep with a 6-3 win over the Giants on Wednesday, May 20, with Ketel Marte going 3-for-3, hitting his seventh homer and scoring three times.
- Marte’s hot stretch began the night before with his first career walk-off three-run homer on Tuesday, a momentum swing that carried into the series finale.
- Geraldo Perdomo delivered the decisive play in the fifth inning when his two-run double capped a three-run rally that turned a 3-3 game into a lead Arizona would not relinquish.
- Starter Merrill Kelly allowed three runs over six innings to earn the win and a trio of relievers blanked the Giants the final three innings before Paul Sewald used 13 pitches to record his 11th save.
- The sweep gives Arizona a season-best-tying four-game winning streak and raises hope that Marte’s resurgence can lift the lineup, but the club will need steadier starting pitching to sustain the run while the Giants return home after a 4-6 road trip hampered by injuries.
