WASHINGTON — Rookie Zack Godley pitched six scoreless innings to continue a stellar start to his career, and the Arizona Diamondbacks homered four times in a 6-4 victory over the Washington Nationals on Monday night.
Nick Ahmed homered and had four hits as the Diamondbacks improved to 5-2 on their 10-game, bi-coastal road trip while handing the Nationals their fourth straight loss.
Godley (3-0) won two of those games, and with Monday’s victory he becomes the second Arizona pitcher to win in each of his first three major league outings.
David Peralta and Welington Castillo added back-to-back homers off Nationals starter Doug Fister (4-7) and Jake Lamb hit a high-arcing shot in the ninth in Jonathan Papelbon’s home debut in Washington.
