ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ketel Marte’s solo home run to deep left field with two out in the ninth inning gave the Arizona Diamondbacks a 3-2 win over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night.

Marte’s homer off Danny Coulombe (2-1) followed consecutive strikeouts of Jose Herrera and Geraldo Perdomo. Perdomo’s was the fifth looking for Arizona among 11 strikeouts, after which manager Torey Lovullo protested and was ejected by home plate umpire Nate Tomlinson.

Jalen Beeks (3-1) pitched 1 2/3 hitless innings followed in the ninth by rookie Juan Morillo, who earned his first big-league save.

Marte also drove in the seventh-inning run that tied the score 2-2 following two Rangers infield errors.

The Diamondbacks, 6 1/2 games out of the NL wild-card race, have won four of their last five games.
