philadelphia» Rey Fuentes hit his first major-league home run in the 10th inning, lifting the Diamondbacks to a 5-4 victory over the Phillies on Sunday.

The Diamondbacks completed a threegame sweep of the Phillies with their seventh straight win overall.
The Phillies have lost 11-of-12. Hector Neris entered with a 4-3 lead in the ninth and failed to pick up a save for the second time in eight chances. He walked the first batter he faced, allowed two singles to tie the game then worked out of a jam to keep the score even.
Archie Bradley (3-1) pitched a scoreless bottom of the ninth, stranding a pair of baserunners.
