Carroll's two homer, five RBI game drove the D-backs to victory in a must win game against the New York Mets
Corbin Carroll's turnaround has been happening for a while now, but at this point he is in full on breakout mode. Wednesday night his clutch two-out grand slam in the bottom of the eighth inning turned a 5-4 deficit into an 8-5 victory for the Arizona Diamondbacks over the New York Mets.
The D-backs had an early 4-0 lead over the Mets starter Luis Severino. That was thanks to a two-run homer from Pederson in the third inning and Carroll's homer in the fourth. Luis Guillorme also had an RBI base hit in the second inning. The Mets took the lead in the sixth thanks to Starling Marte. He singled, stole second, advanced to third on a grounder, and scored on a sacrifice fly to left field by Pete Alonso. The combination of Marte's terrific slide, moving his hand around the tag, and Adrian Del Castillo's failure to execute a swipe tag allowed the go-ahead run to score.
Justin Martinez retired the side in order in the ninth, picking up his 7th save of the year. Thompson got the victory, going to 7-3.
