Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Corbin Carroll lead D-backs past Guardians

Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s two-run single broke a tie in the seventh, Corbin Carroll had his fourth two-triple game of the season and the Arizona Diamondbacks broke a four-game losing streak with a 6-5 victory over the Cleveland Guardians in Phoenix on Tuesday.

Jake McCarthy had two hits, including a homer, Gurriel had three RBIs and Geraldo Perdomo had two hits and a walk for the Diamondbacks.

Jose Ramirez hit a two-run homer and Nolan Jones and Angel Martinez had two hits apiece for the Guardians, who have lost four of five and remain three games out of the third and final American League wild-card position.

Perdomo singled and stole second off Tim Herrin (4-3) with one out in the seventh before Ketel Marte was intentionally walked. Carroll hit into a fielder's choice and stole second before Gurriel's single.

Austin Hedges singled in a run in the eighth to make it 6-5. The Guardians left the bases loaded in the seventh and eighth innings.

Juan Burgos (1-0) pitched one-third of an inning to get out of the seventh and earn his first career victory. Andrew Saalfrank pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his second save.

Carroll has a career-high and major league-leading 16 triples and is on pace to lead the majors for the third straight season. He is the sixth player in the modern era (since 1901) with four two-triple games in the same season, the first since Tampa Bay's Carl Crawford in 2004.

Cleveland starter Tanner Bibee gave up seven hits and four runs in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out five, walked one and hit a batter. He has given up at least four runs in eight of his last nine starts.

Eduardo Rodriguez gave up five hits and four runs in 6 2/3 innings, with four strikeouts and three walks. Rodriguez was 7-0 with 2.51 ERA in nine previous starts against the Guardians.

McCarthy's third homer of the season made it 1-0 in the third before Cleveland took a 2-1 lead in the fourth on run-scoring singles by Carlos Santana and Jones.

Carroll scored on Gurriel's groundout after his first triple in the fourth for a 2-2 tie before Ramirez's two-out, two-run homer gave the Guardians a 4-2 lead in the fifth.

Carroll's RBI triple in the fifth tied the game at 4-4 after Perdomo singled in Alek Thomas, who led off with a triple.
