PHOENIX -- David Peralta's homer off Trevor Bauer with one out in the sixth inning sparked a four-run rally that spun the D-backs toward a resounding 11-2 victory over the Indians at Chase Field on Saturday night, for Arizona's fifth win in its first six games.
The game was billed as a big pitching matchup between Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke and Bauer, whom the D-backs took with the No. 3 pick overall in the 2011 Draft. And it lived up to its billing with the right-handers battling to a 1-1 tie until the lefty-swinging Peralta smacked Bauer's full-count pitch off the right-field foul pole.
