Brandon Pfaadt pitched a gem, Jake McCarthy made two great catches, and Eugenio Suarez homered for the second straight night.
Brandon Pfaadt threw six scoreless innings, and the Diamondbacks defense and bullpen protected a 1-0 lead provided by Eugenio Suarez' fifth inning homer. Jake McCarthy made a game saving, home run robbing catch at the left field wall to preserve the shutout and the narrowest of victories over the Braves.Pfaadt retired the first 11 batters he faced before giving up a two out single to Austin Riley in the fourth inning.
Max Fried was pitching a great game for the Braves too. The D-backs put two on in the first, but Fried got out of it with a 5-4-3 double play on a ball hit by Walker. He gave up a leadoff single to McCarthy in the second, but struck out the next three batters. It was up to the bullpen to preserve the lead. Kevin Ginkel pitched out of a jam in the 7th after giving up a leadoff double to Riley by retiring the next three in a row.
Paul Sewald came out to close out the ninth. He struck out Riley in impressive fashion, tying him up with fastballs up and in. But he left a 2-2 fastball up in a bad place to Matt Olson, who crushed the pitch. Fortunately McCarthy had shifted from center to left and was there to make the game saving grab.
