I don’t know if the San Francisco Giants are better than the Arizona Diamondbacks. Tonight’s 2-1 loss was sort of a noble defeat in that the Giants played as well as they could for the time being and Arizona did, too. Turns out, Arizona has an edge from a talent perspective, which isn’t a surprise.
Corbin Carroll is That Guy. He’s just so good, and he’s been on a tear since the second half of last season. He’s erased memories of that awful start to 2024, and tonight he torched Justin Verlander for a pair of home runs that proved to be all his team needed to take the first game of a 3-game series at Oracle Park.
