Diamondbacks offense gets hot as they top the Athletics

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The Diamondbacks looked to walk away with a series win against the Athletics Sunday afternoon and did so with a 6-4 win.

Early into the game, they had a chance to take a big lead with Jose Herrera at the plate. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the second, he tacked a line out into right field but it was deep enough into the field to plate recently-acquired first baseman Tyler Locklear.

Later on in the same inning, Corbin Carroll flared the ball into shallow right center into no-mans-land, allowing Alek Thomas to cross score and give the D-backs a 3-0 lead. With the hit, Carroll registered his 53rd RBI on the season.

In the third inning, Alek Thomas did his part at the plate by getting a hard-hit ground ball past the diving reach of the shortstop to record an RBI and push the team's lead to 4-0.

Later on in the game, Blaze Alexander took his turn adding to the lead by making contact with every lace of the baseball and sending a no-doubter out of the ballpark.
