Eduardo Rodriguez tossed seven scoreless innings and Geraldo Perdomo had a two-run double during a five-run sixth inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks notched a 9-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night at Phoenix.
Rodriguez (3-0) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out seven as he matched his longest outing of the season. He also threw seven shutout innings against the Atlanta Braves during a no-decision on April 3.
Jonathan Loaisiga pitched a flawless eighth and Brandyn Garcia fanned two in a perfect ninth to complete the two-hitter.
Ketel Marte had two hits, two RBIs and scored twice, Gabriel Moreno had two hits and one RBI and Adrian Del Castillo drove in two as Arizona broke a four-game losing streak while winning for just the fourth time in 13 games.
The Pirates were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position while seeing their three-game winning streak halted.
Bubba Chandler (1-4) allowed two runs and two hits over five innings to lose his third consecutive start. He walked a season-worst six and struck out four.
The Diamondbacks scored twice in the first inning.
Marte hit a one-out triple and Corbin Carroll walked. Del Castillo hit a sacrifice fly to score Marte and Ildemaro Vargas ripped a double to center to score Carroll.
Meanwhile, Rodriguez was mowing down Pirates until Jared Triolo doubled to left with two outs in the fifth for Pittsburgh's first hit.
The only other hit Rodriguez allowed was Konnor Griffin's one-out double in the seventh that high way high up the center field fence.
Arizona broke the game open in the sixth as Yohan Ramirez walked Lourdes Gurriel Jr. with one out and hit Nolan Arenado with a pitch.
Moreno followed with an RBI double to make it 3-0 and Alek Thomas followed with a walk. Perdomo then hit his double just inside the right field line to push the margin to five.
Marte knocked in a run on a fielder's choice with Thomas scoring when the throw from Griffin was wide of the plate. Carroll followed with a sacrifice fly to make it 7-0.
In the eighth, Thomas led off with a double against Dennis Santana and scored on Marte's single to right. Del Castillo had a RBI single later in the inning.
Pittsburgh manager Don Kelly served an automatic one-game suspension due to reliever Chris Devenski being ejected from Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Bench coach Kris Negron ran the team on Tuesday.
