Diamondbacks end 3

PHOENIX (AP) — Ketel Marte and Joc Pederson homered to back Ryne Nelson’s return to the mound and the Arizona Diamondbacks snapped a three-game losing streak Sunday, defeating the San Diego Padres 11-4.

The Diamondbacks roughed up Padres starter Matt Waldron (1-4), who gave up eight runs (seven earned) and eight hits in three innings.

Marte’s two-run homer and Corbin Carroll’s two-run single came in a four-run first inning.

“From the first inning on, it just seemed like it was all synced up and moving in a really good direction,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “It just kept flowing throughout the course of the day.”

For Carroll, who has struggled so far this season, a 2-for-4 game got his average over .200. The 2023 All-Star and National League Rookie of the Year has just four extra-base hits in 128 at-bats.

“That two-out knock with runners on second and third was a huge knock,” Lovullo said. “Corbin’s going to be just fine. It was a good day for him.”
