Nolan Arenado’s 2-run homer lifts the Diamondbacks past the Astros 3-2
Arenado’s 22nd homer put Arizona ahead for good, and Eduardo Rodríguez and Kevin Ginkel combined to hold Houston to two runs.
On Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026, Nolan Arenado hit a two-run homer in the third inning to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros in Houston.
Lefty Eduardo Rodriguez allowed just one run over six innings, improving to 15-5, to anchor Arizona's narrow victory and extend his road-start dominance.
Third-Inning drama saw shortstop Geraldo Perdomo struck by a 93-mph line drive from teammate Ketel Marte, leaving him with a head contusion that forced his early exit.
Maintaining their wild-card playoff position, the Diamondbacks designated Max Kepler for assignment and recalled designated hitter Adrian Del Castillo from Triple-A Reno.
The team travels to Kansas City on Monday, Sept. 7, where Diamondbacks TBA will face Royals LHP Noah Cameron in the series opener.
