He singled in the fourth and then doubled off Jakob Junis for a 5-4 lead. With a chance to hit for the cycle, Fletcher left the bases loaded in the seventh with a groundout.

“He’s very calm in the batter’s box. He has a really good plan and he doesn’t get too overwhelmed with the situation,” Arizona’s manager Jeff Banister said.

Blake Sabol’s passed ball gave Arizona a two-run advantage, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr.’s RBI double in the seventh made it 7-4.

Casey Schmitt had a one-out RBI double in the eighth against Andrew Chafin, who retired Wilmer Flores on a groundout with runners on second and third and struck out Bryce Johnson. Miguel Castro got two outs for his second save.
