Gurriel's RBI triple in the 11th gives Diamondbacks a 5-3 win over Royals in
Burnes' return
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) --- Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit an RBI triple in the 11th
inning, Corbin Burnes made his return after a 15-month recovery from Tommy John
surgery, and the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Kansas City Royals 5-3 in 11
innings on Tuesday night.
Ryan Waldschmidt advanced Ildemaro Vargas to third on a leadoff sacrifice bunt,
and Gurriel drove in Vargas after Matthew Lugo missed the catch in right-center
field.
The play was scored a triple.
Ketel Marte added an insurance run in the 11th with a sacrifice fly, and Ryan
Walston (1-0) earned his first career win and save in two innings of work.
Burnes, who threw three innings and 57 pitches in his first start since June
2025, struck out two and allowed two hits and two walks.
The game was scoreless until the eighth, when Perdomo hit a sacrifice fly to
bring in the game's first run. Tim Tawa added a solo homer in the ninth, his
10th.
John Rave answered for the Royals with a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth,
and both teams scored one run in the 10th.
Michael Wacha struck out four in six innings and allowed three hits and four
walks, picking up his fourth straight quality start for the Royals. Anthony
Gose (1-1) took the loss.
