Thomas drew a walk in the third and scored Arizona’s first run on a triple by Corbin Carroll.

Rowdy Tellez went 2-for-5 with a solo homer against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Randy Arozarena went 1-for-4 with a solo homer against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Arozarena’s only hit of the game put the Mariners on the board for their first run in the sixth as he led off the inning with a solo homer off Brandon Pfaadt.

He’s batting .232/.346/.401 with eight homers, 26 runs scored, 27 RBI, and 11 steals across 280 plate appearances.
Brandon Pfaadt allowed two runs with four strikeouts over five innings in a win over the Mariners on Tuesday.
Had had worked around traffic throughout the game but managed to hold the Mariners scoreless through five innings until Randy Arozarena and Rowdy Tellez took him deep with back-to-back solo homers in the sixth. That would be it for Pfaadt, who scattered nine hits and one walk while striking out four. The 26-year-old right-hander will take a 5.50 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and a 55/18 K/BB ratio across 70 1/3 innings into a start against the Blue Jays in Toronto next Tuesday.
