Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson Dominates Royals, Ends Team Losing Streak

News summary

Ryne Nelson delivered a commanding performance for the Arizona Diamondbacks, pitching seven strong innings with only one run allowed on four hits and no walks, striking out five as the team defeated the Kansas City Royals 7-1 at Chase Field. Nelson carried a perfect game into the sixth inning, retiring the first 16 batters before conceding a single, marking the longest hitless stretch by a Diamondbacks starter since June 5. His recent dominance has solidified his role in the rotation amid Corbin Burnes' injury, with Nelson posting a 3.39 ERA and 0.98 WHIP over 74.1 innings this season. The Diamondbacks received early offensive support with RBI singles from Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suárez, a two-run double from Lourdes Gurriel Jr., and a rare inside-the-park home run by Randal Grichuk. Corbin Carroll returned from a wrist injury but went 0-for-5 in his comeback game. Manager Torey Lovullo emphasized protecting Nelson's health by managing his pitch count carefully despite his excellent form.
