For a team that had their backs against the wall after getting trounced in Philadelphia, the D-backs surely looked like it facing Ranger Suarez Thursday afternoon at Chase Field. For a team that’s struggled to hit but got timely home runs to carry the offense, it was more of the same for the offense for most of the game.
Ketel Marte did most of the damage for the Diamondbacks, doubling twice in the 3rd and 6th innings to start the offense, but the team largely failed to capitalize on the opportunities when given. The first two-out double was squandered there, as Carroll grounded out to leave him stranded.
