Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a base-loaded sacrifice fly to cap a five-run ninth inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-4 in Phoenix on Saturday.

The Diamondbacks had not scored in the first 17 innings of the series before their ninth-inning comeback.

Arizona's Gabriel Moreno walked with one out in the ninth off Joel Payamps and Alek Thomas had an RBI-triple to right center. Trevor Megill (0-1) replaced Payamps and walked Garrett Hampson before Corbin Carroll hit a two-run double to right-center field to make the deficit 4-3.

Geraldo Perdomo worked an eight-pitch walk before Jake McCarthy singled to drive in Carroll and tie the game. Josh Naylor was intentionally walked to load the bases and bring up Gurriel.

Milwaukee's Jackson Chourio had two hits including a home run to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 14 games, and William Contreras had two hits and an RBI. Chourio second twice.

The Brewers had won eight of 10 since opening the season 0-4.

Ryne Nelson (1-0) pitched three innings and gave up one run on Contreras' one-out double in the ninth.

Milwaukee starter Chad Patrick and six relievers held the Diamondbacks at bay until the ninth inning.

Arizona right-hander Corbin Burnes, making his first home start for the Diamondbacks after signing a six-year, $210 million free agent contract, gave up three runs on four hits and two walks. He struck out three.

Burnes spent his first six seasons with the Brewers and won the 2021 NL Cy Young award with them.

The Brewers scored twice off Burnes in the second, an inning that could have produced more. Contreras singled to lead off the inning, Sal Frelick walked and Rhys Hoskins singled in Contreras for the first run.

Garrett Mitchell walked to load the bases with no outs, but Joey Ortiz grounded into double play as Frelick scored and Oliver Dunn grounded out to end the inning.

Burnes had retired nine in a row before Chourio's 448-foot homer made it 3-0 with one out in the sixth inning. It was the sixth-longest homer in the major leagues this season and the second-longest of his career.
