WASHINGTON (AP) --- All-Star Eduardo Rodrguez bounced back from his worst
start of the season, Gabriel Moreno drove in the go-ahead run with a sac fly
and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Washington Nationals 3-2 on Friday night.
Rodrguez (9-3) held the Nationals to Dylan Crews' two-run homer in six
innings. Arizona has won four straight and 10 of 12 as it fights for an NL
wild-card spot.
Paul Sewald worked the ninth for his 24th save.
Moreno broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh with the sacrifice fly. The catcher also
singled twice.
Crews' shot to left-center tied it at 2 in the fourth.
Arizona scored first on Tim Tawa's safety squeeze that deadened in the grass,
travelling 10 feet down the first-base line, scoring Max Kepler in the second
inning. Ketel Marte's fielder's choice groundout made it 2-0 later in the
inning.
Nationals right-hander Zack Littell (7-8) took the loss.

Arizona LHP Micah Bratt (0-0, 5.06 ERA) was set to face All-Star LHP Foster
Griffin (11-2, 2.68) on Saturday.
