Carroll hits 30th home run and Diamondbacks pull away late to beat Red Sox 10-5
"The surging D-backs have won seven of their last nine games, including three straight, to stay on the fringe of the National League wild-card race. Arizona improved to 71-71 for the season, climbing back to .500 for the first time since July 20. Boston has lost two straight and is a half-game behind the New York Yankees for second place in the AL East."
"Arizona scored four runs in the eighth off reliever Justin Slaten, turning a tight game into a comfortable win. With two outs, Geraldo Perdomo's RBI single made it 7-5 and Carroll's three-run shot to right field made it 10-5. It was Carroll's 30th homer of the season. Perdomo also had a solo homer as part of a four-hit night. Rodriguez (7-8) gave up one run on four hits and two walks, striking out four."
"Boston trailed 6-1 after seven innings, but used a four-run eighth to briefly make it close. Alex Bregman had a two-run double, Romy Gonzalez contributed a sacrifice fly and Rob Refsnyder added an RBI double during the rally. Red Sox rookie Peyton Tolle (0-1) was roughed up in his second big league start after a stellar debut on Aug. 29. The burly 6-foot-6 left-hander gave up five runs on five hits and four walks over three innings. He struck out two."
