StatPro MLB Beat Reporter
Just when you thought you'd seen it all, the Arizona Diamondbacks delivered a dose of pure, unadulterated baseball magic on Friday night! Down six runs heading into the bottom of the ninth against the formidable Atlanta Braves, our D-backs didn't just rally – they erupted for an unbelievable seven runs to snatch an 11-10 victory from the jaws of defeat. Unbelievable!
Eugenio Suárez, the hero of the hour, with the go-ahead two-run double to cap a seven-run ninth. Clutch!
Folks, you're going to be talking about this one for a while. Trailing 10-4 as they came to bat in the bottom of the ninth, the atmosphere was tense, but the D-backs dugout clearly still believed. And did they ever deliver! The inning was a blur of clutch hits and smart baserunning, culminating in Eugenio Suárez stepping up and lacing a go-ahead two-run double that sent the home crowd into a frenzy. Ketel Marte was a sparkplug all night, going 2-for-4 with 2 RBIs and scoring 3 crucial runs. This wasn't just a win; it was a statement. This team has fight, and they proved it in the most dramatic fashion possible, pushing their record to 30-31 and extending their winning streak to three games.
While the bats stole the show on Friday, let's not forget the groundwork laid earlier in the week that contributed to this momentum. Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly delivered an absolutely dominant performance on Wednesday against these same Braves, earning a crucial win. Kelly improved to 6-2 on the season after throwing seven scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out eight batters. That stellar outing helped set up this current three-game winning streak. On the roster front, the team made some adjustments on Thursday. Right-handed pitcher Scott McGough was designated for assignment. In corresponding moves, left-handed pitcher Andrew Saalfrank was reinstated from the ineligible list and optioned to ACL Diamondbacks. These decisions come as the team continues to manage its pitching staff, especially with Corbin Burnes on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation.
What a night! This kind of win can galvanize a team and a fanbase. With a three-game winning streak in their pocket and the offense clicking like this, the D-backs are showing serious grit. The pitching adjustments will be key moving forward, but for now, let's savor this incredible comeback and look for the Snakes to keep this momentum rolling!
