Lourdes Gurriel Jr. drove in three runs, Jake McCarthy hit a solo homer and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Cleveland Guardians 6-5.

The Guardians have lost four of five and remain three games out of the third and final American League wild-card position.

The latest product of the Guardians' pitching factory is making his first MLB start today. Here's what to know about him.

PHOENIZ, Arizona (WKBN) – The Cleveland Guardians are promoting pitcher Parker Messick to the Major League roster. The left-hander will make his Major League debut in Wednesday’s series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks at 3:40 p.m. ET.

Arizona Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez is coming off a great start. He went seven innings against the Rockies, allowing only one run.

CJ Kayfus and Brayan Rocchio homered, Gavin Williams pitched 5⅓ scoreless innings and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Arizona Diamondbacks Aug. 18.

“This is the lefty that haunts their dreams,” Paul Hoynes declared bluntly on the latest Cleveland Baseball Talk Podcast. “No matter what team he pitches for, no matter what team he plays for, he always seems to face the Guardians and he always seems to come out one step ahead of them.”

Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt gave up four runs in six innings in a loss to the Rockies last week at Coors Field. He looks to rebound at home.
