Athletics 3, Diamondbacks 2
PHOENIX -- A's catcher Stephen Vogt had three hits including a homer and drove in all three runs, the last with a go-ahead single in the eighth inning in Oakland's 3-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday at Chase Field.
First baseman Mark Canha singled with one out in the eighth inning off left-hander Andrew Chafin (5-1) and took second on a groundout before third baseman Danny Valencia, a right-handed hitter, was intentionally walked to bring up Vogt.
Vogt, a left-handed hitter, dropped a looping single over third base on a 3-2 pitch to drive in Canha as the A's (56-74) broke a three-game losing streak.
Vogt homered in the second inning, singled in the fourth and walked in the sixth, gaining some redemption after committing two passed balls that led to two unearned runs in the sixth inning of a 6-4 loss to Arizona on Friday.
A's right-hander Fernando Rodriguez (4-1) gave up one walk in two innings of relief and left-hander Drew Pomeranz struck out the side in a 1-2-3 ninth for his third save.
Left fielder Ender Inciarte had three hits and scored a run and center fielder A.J. Pollock had two hits and an RBI for Arizona (63-66), which has lost four of its last six.
A's right-hander Aaron Brooks, recalled from Triple-A Nashville to make the start, gave up two runs and eight hits in an economical six innings. He struck out four and walked one while using 75 pitches. Brooks was acquired from Kansas City in the trading deadline deal involving versatile Ben Zobrist.
Arizona right-hander Jhoulys Chacin gave up two runs and five hits in seven innings in his second start of the season. Chacin, released by Colorado this spring before signing a minor-league deal with Arizona, struck out five and walked one.
Valencia doubled to open the second inning off Chacin and Vogt followed with his 17th homer of the season in the swimming pool in right-center field for a 2-0 lead. It was the 53rd splash-down in Chase Field history, the 23rd by an opponent.
Arizona tied the game in the fifth inning. Shortstop Nick Ahmed doubled and took third on Inciarte's third single of the game. Pollock singled to drive in Ahmed, and Inciarte scored when first baseman Paul Goldschmidt grounded into a double play.
