Athletics at Arizona Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks set season high for runs in 15-5 rout of Athletics

With the game tied at 2, Arizona broke it open with their biggest inning of the season. Gabriel Moreno hit a go-ahead two-run shot, and McCann and Waldschmidt also had two-run homers in the big seventh.

Corbin Carroll and Nolan Arenado homered in the fourth off A’s starter Gage Jump.

Merrill Kelly (8-8) allowed two runs and five hits, including Jeff McNeil’s homer, in five innings for the Diamondbacks.

Jump (3-6) was hammered for eight hits and six runs in 4 2/3 innings.

McCann connected on the first pitch from A’s rookie Yunior Tur. After Tim Tawa singled, Waldschmidt homered in his 130th MLB at-bat.

Arizona tacked on five more runs in the sixth with Tawa’s bases-loaded double the main blow. Ildemaro Vargas and McCann each had three of the Diamondbacks' 17 hits.

Vargas moved from the infield to the mound for the ninth in the blowout and gave up two runs and two hits before wrapping it up for the Diamondbacks, who finished the homestand 4-2 and begin a 10-game, four-city road trip on Thursday.

The Athletics, who won the first game of the three-game set, are 3-17 in their last 20 games and haven’t won a series since June 12-14 against the Rockies in Las Vegas.
