Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper hit back-to-back home runs to give the Philadelphia Phillies the advantage over the Diamondbacks 4-3 on Saturday to end Arizona’s three-game winning streak.
Arizona did not use catcher Gabriel Moreno, who is headed for the injured list due to a “muscular issue,” according to MLB.com’s Steve Gilbert.
Moreno left Friday’s game because of left lower back tightness and was sent for an MRI. The Diamondbacks “don’t anticipate a long absence,” Gilbert added.
Arizona catcher Adrian Del Castillo had three hits in Moreno’s place.
Ketel Marte hit his 14th career leadoff home run and Del Castillo had an RBI single for a 2-0 lead in the first off Taijuan Walker. Batters are 10 for 19 (.526) in the first inning with nine runs off Walker in three starts.
