Diamondbacks Start Strong in Miami 🌵

What a thrilling game, D-backs fans! The opening inning saw Corbin Carroll making an early impact with a single to right. Even though Jake McCarthy got out on a fielder's choice, Joc Pederson and Josh Bell kept the momentum alive with a walk. Pavin Smith then hit a sacrifice fly to bring in the first score. Unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize further as Bell was caught stealing.

Marlins Answer Back 💥

The Marlins came back in their half of the first inning. Xavier Edwards reached on an infield single, followed by a stunning home run by Jake Burger, putting Miami ahead 2-1. Despite a brief scare, our defense held firm to prevent further damage.

McCarthy's Homer Ignites the Fire ⚾️​

In the top of the third, after Geraldo Perdomo's double, Jake McCarthy responded with a two-run homer to right, allowing us to regain the lead at 3-2. McCarthy was on fire tonight!

Marlins Rally, but Diamondbacks Strike Back 🔥

The bottom of the 4th inning was a bit rough. Miami put up four runs, highlighted by hits from Otto Lopez and a homer by Cristian Pache. Yet, our D-backs showed resilience in the 7th inning: Josh Bell single-handedly scored Carroll, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. doubled to clear the bases, giving us a 7-6 lead.

Perdomo's Power and Gurriel Jr.'s Clutch Performance 💪

Geraldo Perdomo added some insurance with a solo homer in the 8th. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. came up clutch again in the 9th with an RBI single after Jose Herrera's crucial triple.

Nail-Biting Finish! 😱

The bottom of the 9th was a nail-biter. Miami tried to rally again with Jesus Sanchez scoring on a wild pitch. But our bullpen held firm as Kevin Martinez struck out David Hensley to seal the win. Final score: Diamondbacks 10, Marlins 8.

Final Thoughts 💭

A massive shoutout to our guys for pulling through in a high-scoring game! Key performances from Jake McCarthy, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., and Geraldo Perdomo made this an unforgettable matchup. On to the next one, D-backs! 🌵⚾
