Corbin Carroll Shines as Diamondbacks Crush Blue Jays
Corbin Carroll put on a show as he homered twice and racked up six RBIs in an impressive display of skill. Pitcher Yilber Diaz also contributed greatly, delivering a solid performance over six innings to secure his first big-league win. The Arizona Diamondbacks dominated the Toronto Blue Jays with a convincing 12-1 victory on Saturday night.
The Diamondbacks took an early lead by roughing up José Berríos, scoring five runs on seven hits in just four innings against the Blue Jays’ right-hander. This win marked their fifth straight series win or split, showcasing their consistency and determination on the field.
Commenting on the team’s performance, Carroll mentioned, “Some guys are obviously getting real hot. Guys are just doing their part and it’s been great.” Carroll himself has been on fire lately, demonstrating a remarkable improvement in his form after a rocky start to the season. His three-run homer in the seventh inning and a two-run shot in the eighth sealed the deal for Arizona.
Eugenio Suárez also made a significant contribution with a two-run homer in the eighth inning, adding to the Diamondbacks’ dominant offensive display. With a total of 15 hits, Arizona secured their 10th win in 14 games, highlighting their strong momentum.
Yilber Diaz was the star on the pitcher’s mound, keeping the Blue Jays off-balance with his high-90s fastball and knuckle curve. His exceptional performance limited Toronto to just one run on four hits, showcasing his talent and composure as a young pitcher.
Next Game
In the upcoming series finale, Toronto’s Yusei Kikuchi will face Arizona’s Zac Gallen, promising an exciting matchup between the two talented teams. It will be interesting to see if the Diamondbacks can continue their winning streak and maintain their strong form on the field.
