WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Blaze Alexander homered to help the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Athletics 6-4 on Sunday.

Alek Thomas and Geraldo Perdomo each had three hits as Arizona won the rubber game of the weekend set. Tyler Locklear had two hits and scored two runs.

Eduardo Rodriguez (4-7) pitched five innings of two-run ball in his first win since June 23. The left-hander was 0-3 with a 6.23 ERA in his previous five starts.

Kyle Nelson handled the ninth for his first save of the season. JJ Bleday hit a one-out solo homer for the A’s, but Nelson closed it out when Gio Urshela flied to center and Max Schuemann struck out swinging.
