Moreno's go-ahead RBI single in 10th gives D-Backs 4-3 win over Astros

Geraldo Perdomo led off the 10th with a sacrifice bunt to move Ildemaro Vargas, who started the inning at second, to third. Moreno followed with his RBI single off Bryan King (2-4) to give Arizona the lead.

Jonathan Loáisiga (7-3) pitched the ninth for the victory, and Brandyn Garcia retired the side in order in the 10th for his fifth save.

Arizona moved back to a half-game lead over the Padres for the third NL wild-card spot. The Astros had their three-game winning streak snapped. They remain three games up on the Rangers in the AL West.

The Diamondbacks cut the lead to 3-2 in the seventh on an RBI double by Lars Nootbaar, and Ketel Marte tied it at three in the eighth with a solo home run to right.

Isaac Paredes hit a two-run single to right in the third and had an RBI single in the fifth.

Arizona cut the lead in half with a sacrifice fly by Perdomo in the fifth.

Houston starter Ethan Pecko surrendered one run on five hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Daulton Varsho helped out Pecko in the fourth, robbing Corbin Carroll of extra bases with a leaping grab against the centerfield fence. Carroll hit one to straight away center, and Varsho timed his jump to catch it above his head against the wall. Pecko tipped his cap to his centerfielder in appreciation.

Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt surrendered three runs on seven hits with four strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.

Up next Diamondbacks LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (14-5, 2.59 ERA) looks for his sixth straight road win on Sunday as he starts the series finale opposite RHP Peter Lambert (8-7, 3.66).
