Overview
- The Diamondbacks beat the Minnesota Twins 9-5 on June 19 after Corbin Carroll delivered multiple key hits including a three-run triple in the eighth to break the game open.
- Starter Michael Soroka exited before the second inning with apparent posterior hip or push-off leg discomfort and the club has not issued a definitive prognosis.
- Arizona relied on eight pitchers after Soroka left, with Johnathan Loaisiga getting the win and the team saying Zac Gallen may need to absorb extra innings in the next start to ease bullpen strain.
- Minnesota’s infield miscues in the fifth inning directly allowed Arizona to tie the game and take the lead, while rookie Connor Prielipp worked six innings for the Twins and will remain under workload monitoring.
- Carroll’s hot stretch — capped by a June 17 grand slam and his performance on June 19 — is helping Arizona recover from a recent 3-10 slide and creates immediate roster choices about managing the rotation and reliever workloads.
