• Eugenio Suárez launched two homers—his 32nd and 33rd of the season—marking his fifth multi-homer game of the year and fueling Arizona’s big offensive output.
• Corbin Carroll recorded three hits, including two triples, to stretch his major-league–leading total to 12 triples this season.
• Ryne Nelson delivered six innings of one-run ball, while St. Louis starter Sonny Gray was tagged for a career-high nine runs over 3⅓ innings.
