PHOENIX (AP) — Ketel Marte doubled on the first pitch of the 10th inning to score automatic runner Jorge Barrosa and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Atlanta Braves 6-5 on Sunday to split the four-game series.

Taylor Rashi, making his first appearance of the season, pitched a scoreless 10th for his victory in the majors. He was helped by shortstop Geraldo Perdomo, who made a backhanded stop on a sharp grounder while playing in and threw out Mauricio Dubón for the second out to keep the automatic runner at third.

Marte greeted Joel Payamps (0-1) with a line-drive double over the head of right-fielder Mike Yastrzemski for the winner. There were five lead changes in the game.

Corbin Carroll had three hits, including a tiebreaking triple in the seventh, and Ildemaro Vargas came off the bench to contribute a two-run triple for Arizona. He replaced first baseman Carlos Santana, who left with right groin tightness after a second-inning single.

Drake Baldwin drove in three runs for Atlanta, including a tying single in the ninth against Jonathan Loáisiga. Baldwin homered, his fourth of the season, off Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt.

Braves 3B Austin Riley, mired in a 2-for-25 slump entering Sunday and still looking for his first homer of the season, was not in the starting lineup. He later pinch hit, stayed in the game and went 0 for 2.

The Braves begin a three-game road series against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday with LHP Chris Sale (2-0, 0.75) opposing Angels RHP José Soriano (2-0, 0.00). The Diamondbacks are off Monday before beginning a nine-game trip to the East Coast. RHP Zac Gallen (1-1, 3.60) was scheduled to start for Arizona in New York on Tuesday against Mets RHP Freddy Peralta (1-0, 4.35).

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Step aside, children — this Easter egg hunt is for zoo animals only.

At the largest private zoo in Chile, several of its animal residents — meerkats, monkeys, lemurs and others — searched on Sunday for their food packaged as Easter egg-themed treats.

The “egg hunt” is an annual event at Bioparque Buinzoo in the country’s capital, Santiago, meant to both entertain visitors and stimulate natural food-hunting behavior in various species.

Zookeepers placed small bags decorated like Easter eggs but packed with meat in the enclosures of small felines, such as caracals, who leapt up tree branches to get their snacks.

A meerkat had a basket with eggs placed in between some rocks in its enclosure. Monkeys and lemurs were treated to fruits hidden in brown paper bags decorated with bunny years.

Ignacio Idalsoaga, the zoo's director, said that “in nature, these animals spend much of their life looking for food” so the zoo wanted to recreate that behavior.

The treats and snacks were “not chocolate eggs,” he added reassuringly but foods the animals would eat in their natural habitat.

The annual even has been held for the past 16 years, Idalsoaga said. This year, sheep also had to forage for their food pellets inside a colorful sphere with holes in it.

“Our creative team has been very imaginative this year” Idalsoaga said.
