Eugenio Suárez hit a three-run homer over the Green Monster, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 7-5 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday and completing a three-game sweep. This victory was their sixth in a row.
The Diamondbacks, who hold the top wild-card spot in the NL, reached a season-high 19 games above .500 with this win, marking their 34th win in the last 47 games. Geraldo Perdomo also hit a solo home run around the Pesky Pole, which is estimated to be just 319 feet.
Suárez, who went 4 for 4 in the game, had a two-run double off the Monster on Saturday and a grand slam over it in Friday’s game. He ended the series with 10 RBIs.
“That’s a really, really productive three days no matter where you’re at,” said Arizona manager Torey Lovullo. “Sometimes you come to this ballpark and hitters get a little pull conscious, a little pull happy. … It’s probably one of the best I’ve seen over a three-game stretch (here) and I’ve seen some really good players play in this ballpark.”
Rafael Devers hit his 200th career home run, a three-run shot, making him the 11th and youngest player in Red Sox history to reach that milestone.
Triston Casas and Tyler O’Neill also hit solo home runs for Boston, which now has a 29-35 record at Fenway Park.
This was the Diamondbacks’ second sweep at Fenway Park, with the first one occurring during their first visit to Boston in June 2002.
Arizona’s Corbin Carroll had a single in four at-bats, extending his streak of reaching safely to 34 games.
Suárez hit a first-pitch sweeper from Tanner Houck (8-9) that bounced off a light stanchion above the Monster and onto the field.
