  • James McCann broke a 4-4 tie by homering with two outs in the ninth, sparking Arizona’s four-run comeback that completed the 6-4 victory.
  • Ketel Marte extended his hot streak with a three-RBI go-ahead homer in the ninth and finished with four hits, marking his second straight game-winning blast.
  • Reliever Phil Maton, acquired at the trade deadline, retired two batters before surrendering solo homers to McCann and Marte and issuing a hit and walk.
  • Merrill Kelly delivered six strong innings in his start against his former team but was charged with the loss after giving up two earned runs on seven hits.
  • Rookie reliever Andrew Saalfrank closed out the game for his first career save as Texas fell to .500 and reached 23 blown save opportunities, the second-most in MLB.
