It was an absolute fireworks show at Chase Field on Sunday as the Arizona Diamondbacks put on an offensive clinic, dismantling the St. Louis Cardinals 10-1. Powered by a two-homer game from Eugenio Suárez and a pair of electrifying triples from Corbin Carroll, the D-backs secured their third straight victory in dominant fashion, bringing their record to a season-high 49-50.
Eugenio Suárez powered the offense with two home runs, driving in four of the team's ten runs.
The bats were scorching hot from the get-go. The D-backs racked up 14 hits, leaving the Cardinals pitching staff with no answers. The star of the show was Eugenio Suárez, who looked like a man on a mission, launching two baseballs into the stands for his first multi-homer game of the month. Not to be outdone, Corbin Carroll showcased his elite speed, legging out two triples and constantly putting pressure on the St. Louis defense. It was a complete team effort that signaled a potent offense finally clicking on all cylinders.
While the offense grabbed the headlines, Brandon Pfaadt's performance on the mound was the bedrock of this victory. The young right-hander was in complete control, carving through the Cardinals lineup for seven masterful innings. He allowed just a single run while striking out eight batters, providing the stability that allowed the offense to relax and erupt. It was the kind of ace-like performance that gives a team confidence for the rest of a series.
The win provides a positive jolt amidst some challenging roster news. The team officially transferred catcher Gabriel Moreno to the 60-day injured list, a significant blow that confirms a long-term absence. Outfielder Tristin English was also optioned to Reno. Despite these moves, the team has rallied. Now at 49-50, they've climbed to fourth in the NL West. While still nine games behind the Dodgers, this three-game win streak brings a renewed sense of optimism and a chance to get back to .500 for the first time since early May.
With a three-game winning streak and the .500 mark tantalizingly close, the Diamondbacks are showing signs of life. This offensive outburst is exactly what the team needed. The challenge now is to maintain this momentum and prove this isn't just a flash in the pan, especially as they navigate the tough NL West and the upcoming trade deadline without key players like Moreno.
