Nolan Arenado has 2 homers and 4 RBIs as the Diamondbacks rout the Braves 10-3

In a thrilling performance, Nolan Arenado showcased his offensive prowess as the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Atlanta Braves 10-3 in a game played on Saturday night. The slugger from St. Louis contributed two home runs and four RBIs, bringing his career total to 20 home runs—a significant milestone in his career. Arenado's two-run homer in the third inning set the tone for the Diamondbacks, who capitalized on Eduardo Rodriguez's dominant six innings on the mound.

Eduardo Rodriguez, who had a 12-4 record heading into the game, faced some early pressure as Ronald Acuña Jr. led off with a home run of his own. However, Rodriguez quickly regained control, allowing just two runs on five hits throughout his six innings of work. He struck out five batters while walking none, showcasing his ability to navigate high-pressure situations.

The Diamondbacks' offense continued to rise with Eduardo Vargas delivering a three-run homer in the ninth inning, further extending their lead to 9-3. Gabriel Moreno's nine-game hitting streak was extended with three hits, three RBIs, and a run scored in the ninth. Corbin Carroll added to the Diamondbacks' offensive display with a remarkable triple and run-scoring combination. Tim Tawa contributed two hits and an RBI, while Jonathan Loáisiga and Kevin Ginkel combined for a scoreless inning.

Despite Grant Holmes' impressive streak of hitting early in his career, he struggled in this game, only lasting four innings as he surrendered six runs on six hits and walked three batters. The Diamondbacks have shown exceptional resilience, winning the last seven games in the series when Grant Holmes started. The Braves will look to bounce back in the final game of the series, where Bryce Elder will face Michael Soroka in what promises to be an exciting conclusion.
