Slade Cecconi pitched 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball, Corbin Carroll drove in the game-winning run with an eighth-inning single as Arizona hung on to beat Cincinnati 5-4 on Thursday, capping a series sweep and extending the Reds’ losing skid to eight games.

Joc Pederson homered in the first inning for Arizona, which won its fourth straight. Five different players drove in runs.

Spencer Steer’s two-out single in the seventh inning tied the game for the struggling Reds, but Carroll’s two-out hit in the eighth brought home Tucker Barnhart and gave Arizona a lead that stuck.

Diamondbacks closer Paul Sewald struck out Will Benson and Tyler Stephenson and got TJ Friedl on a ground ball to pick up his first save.

Cecconi (2-2) went 5 1/3 innings, allowing one run and three hits while striking out two. Kevin Ginkel (2-0) pitched a scoreless inning to get the win.

Reds starter Hunter Greene had his streak of 15 1/3 scoreless innings snapped on Pederson’s homer.

In another game, the Twins dominated the Mariners with an 11-1 victory in Minneapolis. Manny Margot's three-run double off Seattle ace Logan Gilbert highlighted a five-run first inning for Minnesota, securing their fifth consecutive series win.

Arizona's sweep of Cincinnati not only extends the Diamondbacks' winning streak but also adds to the Reds' woes as they now face an eight-game losing streak. Despite a late surge from the Reds, highlighted by Spencer Steer's game-tying single, it was Corbin Carroll's clutch hit in the eighth inning that sealed the victory for the Diamondbacks.

With Cecconi delivering a solid performance on the mound and key contributions from the offense, Arizona's momentum continues to build as they look to climb the standings. The Reds, on the other hand, find themselves in a slump, unable to halt their losing streak.

As the Diamondbacks celebrate their series sweep, the Reds are left searching for answers as they aim to turn their fortunes around.
