In an impressive performance, Corbin Carroll led the Arizona Diamondbacks to a convincing 7-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants in the finale of their two-game series. Carroll showcased his remarkable talent by recording four hits, scoring three runs, stealing two bases, and hitting his 25th home run of the season. Notably, he achieved a historic milestone, becoming the first rookie in MLB history to amass at least 25 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season.
Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly (12-7) delivered a stellar performance, allowing only one run and three hits over 6 2/3 innings. He struck out five batters and issued three walks.
Arizona’s offense came to life, with Ketel Marte also contributing a home run, while Christian Walker and Gabriel Moreno each tallied three hits and an RBI. The Diamondbacks (81-72) extended their winning streak to five games as they continue their pursuit of a wild-card spot.
LaMonte Wade Jr. provided the lone run for the Giants (76-76) with a leadoff home run in the first inning. However, San Francisco currently sits three games behind the Chicago Cubs for the third and final wild card spot. With seven of their final ten games against the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers, the Giants face a challenging path to the postseason.
Giants starter Logan Webb (10-13) had a tough outing, surrendering three runs and nine hits over six innings. He struck out four and walked two.
Corbin Carroll’s dynamic play and historic achievement were the highlights of the day, as the Diamondbacks showcased their determination in their quest for a playoff berth.
