Diamondbacks beat Nationals 3-1 but lose starting pitcher Corbin Burnes to possible injury
Eugenio Suárez homered to cap Arizona’s three-run first inning in a 3-1 victory over the Washington Nationals 3-1 but the Diamondbacks might have lost starting pitcher Corbin Burnes to an elbow injury. Burnes left with two outs and CJ Abrams on base in the fifth after throwing his 70th pitch. The Diamondbacks snapped a four-game skid despite not getting a hit after the first inning. Cristian Mena pitched two scoreless innings for his first win in his third career appearance. Justin Martinez pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save. The Nationals had their four-game win streak stopped.
