Arizona's Arizona Diamondbacks secure a run in the first inning, marking the sixth consecutive game where they've done so - the best streak in Major League Baseball. Subsequently, they string together nine consecutive hits.
Arizona Diamondbacks Extend First-Inning Scoring Streak to Eight Games
The Arizona Diamondbacks continued their impressive offensive start in a game against the Colorado Rockies, extending their streak of games with multiple runs within the first three innings to eight games.
The run-scoring spree began in the first inning, where Adrian Del Castillo hit a three-run homer, marking his first of the season. Ketel Marte followed suit with a two-run double, and Corbin Carroll and Alek Thomas added RBI singles.
In the fifth inning, the Diamondbacks demonstrated their resilience, overcoming two quick outs before every batter in their lineup had a hit in succession. Blaze Alexander, Geraldo Perdomo, and James McCann all contributed RBI singles, with McCann's hit driving in two runs. Adrian Del Castillo was on deck when the fifth inning ended.
The Diamondbacks' first-inning scoring streak has been a consistent feature this season. They scored in the first inning for the sixth game in a row, and their overall performance in the early stages of games has been remarkable. The team has scored multiple runs within the first three innings in seven games in a row and has now extended this streak to eight games.
Despite their impressive first-inning scoring streak, the Diamondbacks' record does not seem to stand out among the widely known or official records for the longest streaks in MLB 2022. Teams tend to vary in their performance early in games, and first-inning scoring streaks are a less commonly tracked statistic compared to winning streaks or individual player hitting streaks.
The Diamondbacks' impressive form continued, as they won the game against the Colorado Rockies with a score of 6-5, securing a three-game series victory with a score of 13-6. The team will look to carry this momentum into their next games.
