Boston pinch-hitter Nick Sogard hit a tie-breaking, two-run double with two outs in a three-run ninth and the Red Sox beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-4 to salvage the final game of a three-game series in Phoenix on Sunday.
Romy Gonzalez extended his career-high hitting streak to 10 games with a one-out single in the ninth before Taylor Rashi (0-1) walked Nate Eaton and got Ceddanne Rafaela on a fly out, bringing up Sogard.
Sogard found the gap in left-center to drive in two, and pinch-hitter Carlos Narvaez singled him in.
Closer Aroldis Chapman struck out four in the ninth -- one reached on a wild pitch -- for his 29th save in 31 chances. It was his franchise-record 17th consecutive hitless appearance, the third longest such streak in the modern era (since 1901).
Trevor Story had two hits and an RBI and David Hamilton had an RBI single in a three-run seventh, when Boston took a 4-3 lead.
Gabriel Moreno had two hits and an RBI and Blaze Alexander and Jordan Lawlar had RBI singles for the D-Backs.

Garrett Whitlock (6-3) retired all five he faced after entering following Lawlar's single with two on in the seventh.
Arizona starter Ryne Nelson gave up one run and three hits in six innings, leaving with a 2-1 lead after a season-high 105 pitches. He struck out three and walked three in his third straight quality start.
