Ketel Marte hit a tying 457-foot home run in the third inning and go-ahead, two-run single in the fourth, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks stop a 13-game losing streak with a 9-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.

 

Matt Peacock (2-1) got his first big league win as a starting pitcher, throwing 78 pitches in his third career start. He gave up two runs and six hits in six innings, struck out six and walked none.

Josh Reddick had three hits and an RBI for Arizona, which took advantage of three errors to score two unearned runs.

 

Dylan Carlson hits two hits and a homer and Andrew Knizner had two hits and an RBI for the Cardinals, who had won four in a row.

 

Kwang Hyun Kim allowed four runs and a career-high nine hits in five innings

Carlson's first-inning homer and Knizner's RBI double in the second build a 2-0 lead, and Tim Locastro's RBI single in the second and Marte's third homer this season tied the score.

 

Marte's single after he fouled off five pitches in a nine-pitch at-bat put Arizona ahead 4-2.

 

Shortstop Edmundo Sosa's second error of the game, when dropped the ball while trying to take it out of his glove on Locastro's leadoff grounder, led to to a five-run sixth.

 

The sloppy sixth inning included Carson Kelly's four-pitch, bases-loaded walk from Tyler Webb - the Cardinals' 14th bases-loaded walk this season - that followed an intentional walk to Marte,

 

Eduardo Escobar had an RBI single off Webb, Christian Walker and Reddick hit run-scoring singles against Jake Woodford and Nick Ahmed' had an RBI grounder that third baseman Jose Rondon threw past first for the Cardinals' third error.
