Suárez's homer came off Birdsong with two men on in the third. It was Suárez’s 13th HR of the season — the third baseman had a four-homer game against Atlanta on April 26.

On Wednesday, every member of Arizona’s starting lineup had a hit except No. 9 batter Jose Herrera, who walked twice.

Ryan Thompson (1-0) got the win in relief as Arizona had 12 strikeouts and the Diamondbacks took two of the three games in the series.

The Giants’ Heliot Ramos had three RBIs, including a sacrifice fly in the second and a two-run double in the fourth. Jung Hoo Lee hit a two-run homer in the seventh, his second in two games.

The Giants trailed 8-6 in the ninth before scoring once and then had the bases loaded with two outs before Shelby Miller got Christian Koss on a short fly out to center to end the game. Miller picked up his third save.

The Giants were 8-0 in home day games this season before losing Wednesday.

The Diamondbacks and RHP Corbin Burnes (2-1, 2.95 ERA) will open a three-game series against Colorado (starter TBA) in Phoenix on Friday night. Also on Friday, the Giants and RHP Logan Webb (4-3, 2.60) will host the Athletics (starter TBA) in the opener of a three-game set.

A Ukrainian drone strike killed one person and wounded three others in the Russian city of Voronezh, local officials said Sunday.

A young woman died overnight in a hospital intensive care unit after debris from a drone fell on a house during the attack on Saturday, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said on Telegram.

Three other people were wounded and more than 10 apartment buildings, private houses and a high school were damaged, he said, adding that air defenses shot down 17 drones over Voronezh. The city is home to just over 1 million people and lies some 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

The attack came the day after Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles overnight into Friday, killing at least four people in the capital Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials.

For only the second time in the nearly four-year war, Russia used a powerful new hypersonic missile that struck western Ukraine in a clear warning to Kyiv and NATO.

The intense barrage and the launch of the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile followed reports of major progress in talks between Ukraine and its allies on how to defend the country from further aggression by Moscow if a U.S.-led peace deal is struck.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday in his nightly address that Ukrainian negotiators “continue to communicate with the American side.”

Chief negotiator Rustem Umerov was in contact with U.S. partners Saturday, he said.

Separately, Ukraine’s General Staff said Russia targeted Ukraine with 154 drones overnight into Sunday and 125 were shot down.
