This clutch hit greeted new pitcher Joel Payamps (0-1) and ended the back-and-forth contest.
Taylor Rashi (1-0) earned his first MLB win for Arizona with a scoreless 10th inning. He was aided by a key defensive play from shortstop Geraldo Perdomo. The Diamondbacks' offense was bolstered by Corbin Carroll, who had three hits including a go-ahead triple in the seventh. Ildemaro Vargas also contributed a crucial two-run triple.
Drake Baldwin led the Atlanta offense, driving in three runs. He tied the game in the ninth with a single off Jonathan Loáisiga and also homered off Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt. Braves third baseman Austin Riley was not in the starting lineup and went 0 for 2 after pinch-hitting.
