James McCann home run helps Diamondbacks avoid series sweep against Phillies

James McCann hit a solo home run in the eighth inning to provide the only run of the game as the Arizona Diamondbacks avoided a sweep by the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday at Chase Field. The victory came via a bullpen-led effort, with Arizona utilizing several relievers to stifle the Philadelphia offense throughout the afternoon. Philadelphia pitcher Andrew Painter delivered a strong performance, throwing seven scoreless innings while allowing just three baserunners. Despite the win, Arizona struggled offensively throughout the three-game series, failing to record a hit with runners in scoring position across 17 opportunities. The outcome leaves the Diamondbacks looking to regain momentum in the National League Wild Card race as the regular season reaches its final stretch. Arizona remains under pressure to improve offensive consistency to secure a postseason spot.
