Overview
- Arizona rallied from a multi-run deficit when Corbin Carroll pulled a two-run homer off reliever Jack Ralston in the ninth to secure an 8-7 victory.
- Marlins closer Pete Fairbanks began the ninth but left after walking the leadoff hitter with an apparent injury, a developing issue that forced a late bullpen change before the game-winner.
- Corbin Burnes, pitching in his second start since Tommy John surgery, allowed five runs over 4 2/3 innings and struggled with command against Miami’s lineup.
- Sandy Alcantara gave up four runs in five innings and has thrown 205 innings this season, a workload that affects Miami’s rotation management down the stretch.
- Arizona will send Michael Soroka and Miami will counter with Janson Junk in the next game, and both teams will be watching starter recovery and bullpen availability as the wild-card race tightens.
