Corbin Carroll Hits Game-Winning, 2-Run Homer in the 9th to Lift D-Backs over the Marlins 8-7
Carroll’s 21st homer capped Arizona’s comeback after Jordan Lawlar’s eighth-inning drive cut the deficit to one.
On Monday night, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll hit a two-run walk-off home run, lifting his team to an 8-7 victory over the Miami Marlins at Chase Field.
The victory keeps the Diamondbacks within 2.5 games of the San Diego Padres for the final National League wild-card spot, with 11 games remaining in the season.
Arizona rallied from a late 7-4 deficit to secure their 45th comeback win of the season, the most in the major leagues, despite pitcher Corbin Burnes allowing five runs over 4 2/3 innings.
General Manager Mike Hazen added outfielder Jesus Sanchez off waivers on Monday to bolster the lineup, a move costing the club $420,000 to spark the offense.
Manager Torey Lovullo praised Carroll's persistence postgame, saying "he continues to fight and he commits," as the team pursues October baseball with playoff motivation mounting.
