Two Outs, Two Strikes, and a Free Pass: The Wildest Walk-Off That Just Gave the D-backs Five Straight Wins

Holy smokes, you guys, you are NOT gonna believe how the Arizona Diamondbacks snagged their fifth consecutive win last night! Talk about a heart-stopper! Down to their last out, in the bottom of the ninth, they pulled off a wild 2-1 walk-off victory against the Colorado Rockies. Seriously, this game had everything, including a pitch-timer infraction that basically handed them the tying run. Corbin Carroll, that dude is just clutch, man.

Ninth Inning Mayhem Gets the Job Done

So picture this: ninth inning, score tied at 1-1. Rockies pitcher Juan Mejia is on the mound, gets ahead of Gabriel Moreno 0-1. But then, BOOM, he gets dinged with a pitcher's delay of game call, and that's an automatic ball. Talk about a gift! Moreno takes it to eight pitches and then draws a walk. Next, a sacrifice bunt by pinch-hitter Jose Fernandez, then a strikeout. Two outs, man! Ketel Marte then gets a free pass too, from Mejia, putting runners on first and second. This is where Carroll steps up, takes the count to 2-2, and then just lasers a single to right field. Ball game! The D-backs are straight up living on the edge, pulling off their second walk-off win in just the last three days. Paul Seward, who came in and pitched a scoreless top of the ninth, gets the W, making his record 1-4. Mejia, meanwhile, drops to 0-4.

Pitching Duels and Late Game Firepower

Before all that ninth-inning craziness, this game was a proper pitching duel. Rockies' Zach Agnos, who was scheduled to be an opener, went five full innings in his first big-league start, allowing just one hit, a single by Marte in the third, while striking out four. Eduardo Rodriguez for the Diamondbacks was also dealing, working seven innings, serving up four hits, walking one, and striking out four, leaving with a 1-0 lead. Neither starter got a decision, which is a shame given how well they both pitched. The D-backs first run came against Colorado reliever Blas Castano when Ryan Waldschmidt walked, moved to third on a Marte single, and scored on Carroll's infield out. The Rockies tied it up in the eighth when Juan Morillo hit Tyler Freeman with the bases loaded and one out, allowing Troy Johnston to score. Kevin Ginkel came in with the score tied and bases loaded, but he shut it down, getting Hunter Goodman to foul out and Ezequiel Tovar to ground out. The D-backs only managed four hits, all singles, with Marte grabbing two of them. Tovar had the game's only extra-base hit, a double, but it wasn't enough to stop the Rockies from dropping their third in a row. This team is on a tear right now, and it's pure baseball entertainment!
