Kevin Newman’s two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning capped a four-hit night and gave the Arizona Diamondbacks a 6-5 victory over the reeling Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.
Newman had a pair of doubles and a single before coming to the plate in the ninth against Alexis Diaz , who had loaded the bases with a hit batsman and two walks. Newman lined the pitch to shallow right to score Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Gabriel Moreno."Just got lucky on that one, placed it in a good spot and scored two runs," said Newman, who has had a chance to play this season due to injuries to regular shortstop Geraldo Perdomo and top prospect Jordan Lawlar.
The Diamondbacks chased Reds starter Graham Ashcraft after four innings but couldn’t come through with a two-out hit until Suarez did it in the seventh. Arizona stranded 14 runners in the game.Moreno’s homer was his first of the season. He hit seven last year but added four more in Arizona’s postseason run to the World Series.Jordan Montgomery pitched into the sixth for the Diamondbacks. He gave up six hits, walked three and struck out seven.
