Arizona Diamondbacks secure series victory against the Houston Astros

The Arizona Diamondbacks captured a series victory against the Houston Astros in Texas this weekend. After dropping the opener 3-1 on Friday, the Diamondbacks responded to take the final two games of the set. Ketel Marte provided a late-inning spark with a game-tying home run on Saturday, while Eduardo Rodriguez delivered six innings of work in Sunday’s rubber match to secure the win. The series marked the first time the Diamondbacks have won a series in Houston since 2012. The team’s pitching staff performed well throughout the three-game stretch, yielding only one earned run across 8.2 innings of bullpen work. Arizona now prepares to travel to Kauffman Stadium for a series against the Kansas City Royals.
