In a thrilling finish, Corbin Carroll delivered a game-winning two-run single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, securing a 5-4 victory for the Arizona Diamondbacks over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday night in Phoenix. This dramatic play highlighted Carroll’s clutch performance and showcased the team’s resilience as they battled back to clinch the win.
The ninth-inning rally was ignited by Gabriel Moreno, who drew a walk from Colorado closer Pierce Johnson (0-2) with one out remaining. Following this, Ketel Marte contributed with his second double of the game, advancing Moreno to third base. With the pressure mounting, Carroll stepped up and delivered a walk-off single to center field, bringing both Moreno and Marte across the plate to complete a stunning comeback.
This hard-fought victory marked the Arizona Diamondbacks‘ first sweep of the season, as they managed to take all four games against the Rockies. The team demonstrated exceptional teamwork and determination throughout the series, solidifying their position and showcasing their potential as a competitive force in the league.
On the opposing side, Harold Castro, Nolan Jones, and Brenton Doyle each delivered two hits and contributed an RBI for the Colorado Rockies. However, a notable highlight was the end of Jurickson Profar’s impressive 37-game on-base streak, which was snapped following an 0-for-4 performance. This streak had been the longest in the majors this season, making its conclusion a significant moment for the Rockies.
In another game, the Padres triumphed over the Marlins with a score of 10-1.
The standout player for the Padres was Fernando Tatis Jr., who drove in four runs and showcased his power at the plate. Meanwhile, Joe Musgrove impressed on the mound, taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning as San Diego secured a decisive victory over the Miami team.
Tatis had an outstanding game, going 3-for-4 at the plate with three doubles, scoring two runs, and drawing one walk. Musgrove (3-2) pitched six innings, allowing just an unearned run on three hits and three walks while striking out three batters, demonstrating his dominance on the mound.
For the Marlins, Jesus Luzardo (4-4) struggled, allowing five runs on four hits and one walk. The lone run for Miami came in the third inning when Jonathan Davis walked, stole second, advanced to third on a throwing error by catcher Austin Nola, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Luis Arraez. Arraez also broke up Musgrove’s no-hitter with an infield single in the sixth inning.
In another matchup, the Blue Jays defeated the Brewers by a score of 3-1.
Pitcher Kevin Gausman was exceptional, striking out 11 batters, while Matt Chapman provided a significant offensive boost with a two-run home run. With this victory, the Toronto team managed to win two out of three games against the Brewers.
Bichette also contributed to the win with a solo home run, showcasing the offensive depth of the Blue Jays. Gausman (4-3) delivered a stellar performance, allowing no runs, five hits, and two walks over 6 2/3 innings, further solidifying his reputation as a top pitcher.
On the other hand, the Brewers have struggled recently, losing five out of their last seven games, including two consecutive series. Starter Freddy Peralta (5-5) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters across six innings, highlighting the challenges faced by Milwaukee’s pitching staff.
In another exciting matchup, the Mets secured a victory over the Phillies with a score of 4-2.
Pitcher Max Scherzer delivered a strong performance, tossing seven innings for the second consecutive start, while Mark Canha continued his impressive form against Philadelphia by hitting another two-run home run. This win completed a three-game sweep for the host New York team.
Scherzer (5-2) allowed only two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out nine batters, demonstrating his elite pitching skills. Jeff McNeil contributed with an RBI single in the third before Canha hit a go-ahead two-run homer to left field off Taijuan Walker (4-3) in the fourth inning, sealing the game for the Mets.
For the Phillies, Nick Castellanos had a productive game with three singles and a sacrifice fly, but unfortunately, the team has now dropped four straight games and 12 of their last 17, raising concerns about their performance moving forward.
