Overview
- Arizona surged to a six-run lead in the first two innings, highlighted by Ketel Marte’s two-run single and Corbin Carroll’s three-run homer.
- If the Diamondbacks hold on, they would sit one game behind the Mets and Reds for the third National League wild-card spot after Cincinnati beat Chicago.
- Left-handers Eduardo Rodriguez and Ranger Suarez started the finale, with Rodriguez working out of early traffic and Suarez arriving on a strong recent run.
- Philadelphia entered the day at 92-63, three games back of Milwaukee for the NL’s best record, a race that carries a first-round bye and home-field stakes.
- Arizona selected right-hander Austin Pope for a potential major-league debut and designated right-hander Jake Woodford for assignment.
