<p>PHOENIX &mdash; Cody Poteet won his major league debut, Jesús Aguilar homered for a third straight game and the Miami Marlins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 on Wednesday night. </p>
<p>The 26-year-old Poteet (1-0) gave up a run in the first inning and a solo homer in the fifth but was otherwise solid. He lasted five innings and the right-hander allowed just four hits, struck out six and didn’t walk anyone.</p>
<p>Aguilar pushed the Marlins to a 2-0 lead in the first when he turned on Matt Peacock’s 93 mph fastball and launched the ball down the left-field line. It clanged off the foul pole about two-thirds of the way up.</p>
<p>Aguilar was an All-Star in 2018 when he hit a career-high 35 homers, but struggled in 2019. He bounced back with eight homers in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season and already has nine long balls through 34 games this year. His 31 RBIs lead the National League.</p>
<p>Miami’s Adam Duvall and Jon Berti both had two hits. Sandy Leon hit a solo homer in the second.</p>
<p>Peacock (1-1) took the loss after giving up three runs, two earned, over five innings. It was the right-hander’s first career start, which was needed because scheduled starter Zac Gallen was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The Marlins wrapped up the game with four scoreless innings from their bullpen that included stints from Richard Bleier, Anthony Bass and Dylan Floro. </p>
<p>Yimi García pitched the ninth for his sixth save. For the final two outs, Aguilar made a leaping catch of Eduardo Escobar’s line drive and stepped on first to double off Tim Locastro.</p>
<p>Poteet was the sixth Marlins player to make his major league debut this season.</p>
<p>MAKE THEM COUNT</p>
<p>Arizona’s Andrew Young has four hits this season and all of them are homers. His solo shot as a pinch-hitter in the fifth inning Wednesday cut the Marlins’ lead to 3-2. </p>
<p>There are only five players since 1974 who have matched that feat to start a season. The only one to beat it is Rob Deer, who had five homers for his first five hits while playing for the Tigers in 1992.</p>
<p>TRAINER’S ROOM</p>
<p>Marlins: 2B Isan Díaz was taken out of the game “as a precaution because he was feeling unwell and fatigued.” The team added that Díaz was cleared by a physician after he left the game.</p>
<p>Diamondbacks: Put 1B Christian Walker (sore oblique) and Gallen (strained elbow) on the 10-day injured list. Arizona called up RHP Seth Frankoff and Young to take their places on the active roster. </p>
<p>UP NEXT</p>
<p>The teams wrap up their four-game series Thursday. The Diamondbacks will send RHP Merrill Kelly (2-3, 5.40 ERA) to the mound vs. LHP Trevor Rogers (4-2, 1.89).</p>
