PHOENIX (AP) — Eugenio Suárez and Josh Naylor homered to back a stellar start from Ryne Nelson as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-0 on Monday night to end a five-game skid.

Suárez hit his 15th homer — a 109 mph shot to left-center that traveled 433 feet — for a 3-0 lead against Andrew Heaney (3-4) in the third inning.
