David Brandt Associated Press PHOENIX — Buddy Kennedy hit a grand slam for his first big-league homer, Christian Walker added two solo shots and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Minnesota Twins 7-1 on Sunday.
Kennedy — who played at the same high school as Angels star Mike Trout in Millville, New Jersey — was Arizona's fifth-round pick in the 2017 draft. Minnesota took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Luis Arraez came home on Carlos Correa's double-play grounder. Arraez came into the game with an AL-leading .363 batting average.Clean shaveWalker had a new look for his two-homer outburst, shaving off his beard in the hours between Saturday night's game and Sunday. He already has 18 homers this season and is on pace to easily set his career high. He slugged 29 homers in 2019.
