Eugenio Suarez smacked a bases-loaded single off the right field wall as the final hero as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Milwaukee Brewers 11-10 in 10 innings in a wild back-and-forth thriller Sunday in the finale of a three-game series in Phoenix.
Milwaukee went ahead 10-8 on a two-run triple by Jackson Chourio in the top of the 10th before Arizona scored three runs off Jared Koenig in the bottom of the inning. Adrian Del Castillo opened it with an RBI single and Koenig loaded the bases with nobody out before hitting Christian Walker with a pitch to tie the score at 10. Suarez followed with the decisive hit.
Chourio also homered and was 3-for-6 with a career-high five RBIs for Milwaukee. Eric Haase had a two-run homer for the Brewers, who scored eight straight runs after falling behind 5-0.
Suarez had three RBIs and Pavin Smith added a three-run double for the Diamondbacks.

The Padres (85-65) remain atop the National League wild-card race with just two weeks remaining in the regular season. After the Giants (72-78) had tied the score in the ninth on a leadoff home run by Heliot Ramos, Peralta led off the 10th with a single to left off former San Francisco closer Camilo Doval (5-3) to drive in automatic runner Jake Cronenworth, then scored on Donovan Solano’s RBI groundout.
Adrian Morejon retired all three men he faced in the last of the 10th, allowing a sacrifice fly to Michael Conforto along the way, to record his second save. Despite blowing his save opportunity, the win was credited to Robert Suarez (9-3), who served up Ramos’ 21st homer.
Yankees 5, Red Sox 2
