Arizona Diamondbacks clinch series win over Cincinnati Reds

Arizona Diamondbacks Cincinnati Reds series win Jordan Lawlar Gabriel Moreno

Arizona snapped a multi‑week slump by winning the three‑game series at Great American Ball Park, beating Cincinnati 5‑3 in the rubber match. Solo homers by Tommy Troy, Geraldo Perdomo and Gabriel Moreno gave the Diamondbacks the lead, and Paul Sewald closed with his 17th save.

The win moved Arizona to 36‑35 overall, while the Reds fell to 33‑36. Both clubs entered the finale with similar batting averages (.238 for Arizona, .229 for Cincinnati) but the Diamondbacks were bolstered by the return of outfielder Jordan Lawlar, who contributed a two‑run single in game one and continued to hit .320/.414/.480 after activation from the 60‑day IL. catcher Gabriel Moreno, promoted to the three‑hole, posted a solo homer and a double in the decisive game, raising his season line to .264/.348/.447.

Analysts noted the Diamondbacks still struggled with runners in scoring position, finishing the series 3‑for‑24 with RISP. The victory sets up a three‑game road series against the Los Angeles Angels beginning Monday.
