Giants fall to Diamondbacks in a thrilling encounter, with Marte and Suarez delivering multiple home runs, final score 8-7.
Dobished in the heart of the Cali-scene, it's the thrilling showdown between the scrappy Arizona Diamondbacks and the tenacious San Francisco Giants - an no-holds-barred brawl that went down just a moment ago.
Ketel Marte stole the spotlight with a double barrel of home runs, while Eugenio Suárez dished out a three-run bomb of his own. That's eight runs in total for the Rocky Mountain squad, who refused to back down against the Bay Area ballers.
In the opening round, Marte took Jordan Hicks deep to right field for a solo shot, while he cracked a two-run homer off Hayden Birdsong in the fourth. Suárez got into the act with a monster shot off Birdsong in the third inning, with two men on base. That stellar display of power brings Suárez's season total up to 13 longballs, following his four-homer game against Atlanta back on April 26.
Every starter for the Diamondbacks managed to get a hit during this skirmish - all except for No. 9 batter Jose Herrera, who was still able to trek the bases twice with a couple of strolls.
The star of the show for the Giants was Heliot Ramos, who racked up three RBIs throughout the game. He notched a sacrifice fly in the second inning and added a two-run double in the fourth. Jung Hoo Lee joined the party with a two-run homer in the seventh, marking his second longball in as many games.
The nail-biter moment: The Giants were trailing 8-6 going into the ninth, when they managed to score once. With the bases loaded and two outs, it seemed they had a golden opportunity - until Shelby Miller quashed their hopes with a short fly out to center field, sealing the victory for the Diamondbacks. That brings Miller's save total to a cool three.
So, what's the deal with these upcoming games? Well, the Diamondbacks are set to square off against Colorado Rockies in Phoenix starting on Friday night. The Rockies' starting pitcher is yet to be determined, while the Diamondbacks are sending out Corbin Burnes (2-1, 2.95 ERA) to do his thing.
On the flip side, the Giants are hosting the Oakland Athletics on Friday, initiating a three-game series. The A's starting pitcher is also still up in the air, while the Giants will start with Logan Webb (4-3, 2.60).
