Diamondbacks
PHOENIX (AP) --- Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson opened the ninth inning with
back-to-back home runs, sending the Atlanta Braves to a 2-0 victory over the
Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night.
Grant Holmes held the Diamondbacks to one hit through six innings, matching
zeros with Arizona starter Eduardo Rodrguez.
Albies and Olson connected off reliever Paul Sewald (0-1), helping the Braves
improve to 6-2 while the Diamondbacks dropped to 3-5.
Robert Suarez (1-0) pitched a perfect eighth inning and Raisel Iglesias worked
a 1-2-3 ninth for his first save this season.
Albies, who had three of Atlanta's six hits, drove an 0-1 pitch from Sewald
over the right-field fence for his second homer of the year.
Olson sent Sewald's next delivery to left for his second home run as well.
