Diamondbacks Dominate Royals With a 6-2 Victory! 
What a game, fellow Diamondbacks fans! Our boys came out blazing and never took their foot off the gas in a stellar 6-2 win over the Kansas City Royals.
Early Surge Sets the Tone 
In the top of the 1st inning, Corbin Carroll singled to right, setting the stage for a dynamic start. Ketel Marte walked, and Joc Pederson added a single to load the bases. Christian Walker then hit a sacrifice fly to right, allowing Carroll to score. A key moment came when Lourdes Gurriel Jr. stole second, and Gabriel Moreno singled to bring both Marte and Gurriel Jr. home. At the end of the first inning, we were already up 3-1!
Marte Takes it Deep 
The 5th inning saw another explosion of Diamondbacks offense. Geraldo Perdomo doubled to right before being driven home by a 412-foot homer from Ketel Marte to right field, extending our lead to 5-1. This was an absolute clutch moment from Marte!
Defense Holds Strong 
Our pitching staff and defense were on point today. Moving into the later innings, Ryan Jarvis, Joe Mantiply, and Thompson all took turns shutting down the Royals’ batting lineup. Not to mention, we executed a fantastic double play in the 7th inning to put a stop to a potential Royals comeback.
Sealing the Deal in the 9th 
Jake McCarthy added a triple to right in the 9th inning, although we couldn't capitalize further. But no worries, Kevin Ginkel came in to close, allowing just one run before securing the final out. Even with a double by Vinnie Pasquantino and a single from Salvador Perez, Ginkel held strong, finishing the game with a 6-2 win.
Team Effort for the Win 
This victory was a true team effort. Hats off to every player, from Corbin Carroll's crucial early hit, Ketel Marte's homer, to Gabriel Moreno's two RBIs. Our pitching staff also deserves a special mention for this well-rounded performance. Let's keep the momentum going! Go D-backs!
