Christian Walker’s three-run home run in the eighth inning pulled the Diamondbacks into a 3-3 tie and accounted for all their scoring. Geraldo Perdomo had three hits and Evan Longoria added two.
Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte sat out his second straight game with lower back tightness and is questionable for Thursday.
