Diamondbacks Shut Out Pirates 5-0 to End Five-Game Losing Streak

The Arizona Diamondbacks ended a five-game losing streak with a 5-0 shutout victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, highlighted by strong pitching and key home runs. Ryne Nelson delivered a dominant performance, pitching 6 2/3 scoreless innings with four hits allowed, no walks, and four strikeouts, demonstrating excellent command and efficiency despite a pitch count limit. Eugenio Suárez and Josh Naylor each homered, contributing to the team's offensive output alongside notable hits from Gabriel Moreno and Ketel Marte, who extended his hitting streak to nine games. The Diamondbacks' bullpen preserved the shutout, with Justin Martinez escaping a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the eighth inning and Ryan Thompson closing the ninth. The Pirates, struggling offensively and shut out for the ninth time this season, continued to rank last in the National League in home runs. Nelson's impressive start strengthens his case to remain in the rotation even as Eduardo Rodríguez nears a return from the injured list, posing a potential roster decision for the Diamondbacks' management.
