Overview
- The Diamondbacks beat the Texas Rangers 9-1 after a five-run fifth and five-run sixth, with Ketel Marte collecting two doubles and three RBIs to spark the rally.
- Justin Martinez retired Wyatt Langford, Evan Carter and Jake Burger on nine pitches in the sixth for an immaculate inning, a rare three-strikeout, nine-pitch frame that ended the Rangers’ threat.
- Martinez’s performance continued a scoreless stretch since his return from Tommy John surgery, extending a run of eight scoreless appearances with 11 strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings.
- Corbin Carroll added a two-run homer for his 20th of the season, and the win left Arizona tightly matched with the San Diego Padres for the final National League wild-card spot.
- The immaculate inning was the fifth in Diamondbacks history and the franchise’s second this season, a sign of rising bullpen depth that could matter as Arizona makes roster and rotation choices down the stretch.
