BALTIMORE -- Adrian Del Castillo hit a tiebreaking two-run homer off Tyler Wells, added his first career triple and drove in five runs, and the Diamondbacks completed an excellent nine-game, three-city road trip with an 8-5, 10-inning victory over the Orioles on Wednesday afternoon at Camden Yards.
Corbin Carroll doubled twice and scored two runs as Arizona (11-8) completed its swing with a 6-3 record and three series victories over the Mets, Phillies and O’s.
Ildemaro Vargas bunted for a single in the second inning to run his franchise-record hit streak to start a season to 12 games, and he later doubled and scored on Nolan Arenado’s single against Wells (0-1) in the 10th to cap the three-run frame. Jorge Barrosa also drilled an RBI double that landed on the right-field line chalk in the fourth.
Alek Thomas’ RBI groundout pulled the Diamondbacks level at 4-4 in the sixth on a day they moved to 3-0 in rubber games and 6-2 in day games.
One night after using one pitch to bail his team out of a bases-loaded, eighth-inning jam, Ryan Thompson (1-0) worked a perfect ninth to force extras. Juan Morillo completed a bounceback outing in the 10th, retiring all three batters he faced for his second career save.
The Diamondbacks won another series despite the least dominant outing of the season from Eduardo Rodriguez, who allowed four runs over five innings. He yielded six hits and walked four on 98 pitches, and his 5.4% whiff rate against Orioles batters was the lowest of the 33-year-old’s career.
