How the game was won: A.J. Pollock's two-run homer in the seventh inning off Braves rookie Brandon Cunniff lifted the Diamondbacks to a 7-6 win at Chase Field. The Braves had overcome a 4-1 deficit and taken a 6-4 lead with five runs in the sixth inning, all scored with two outs. But Atlanta's bullpen faltered again and the team's three-game winning streak was snapped. The Braves are 4-5 on a 1o-game trip that ends Wednesday.

Number: 1. Times that Shelby Miller has allowed more than two earned runs in a game this season. He hadn't done it until Wednesday, when he gave up six hits, four runs and six walks in 4 1/3 innings. That was as many runs and walks as Miller had allowed in all five of his May starts combined.

What's next: The Braves play a series finale against the Diamonbacks at 3:40 p.m. (Eastern). Rookie Mike Foltynewicz (3-2, 3.96 ERA) faces Arizona right-hander Rubby De La Rosa (4-2, 4.50).
