PITTSBURGH (AP) — Christian Walker had three RBIs, hitting a two-run double in a three-run seventh inning that powered the Arizona Diamondbacks to a series win with a 8-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. “You look inside of the game, it’s just quality approach after quality approach,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. It was a good win.”Pittsburgh committed three errors and threw five wild pitches, falling to 4-13 in May after a 20-9 start. Kelly threw a run-scoring wild pitch in the second but Arizona went ahead on a run-scoring wild pitch in the third by Roansy Contreras, who allowed three runs, three hits and three walks in five innings. Pirates: RHP Luis Ortiz (0-2, 5.63) will start Monday in the first game of a three-game set against the Texas Rangers.
