Merrill Kelly Steller During Game 2 Win

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly threw seven innings of one-run baseball during Game 2 of the World Series Saturday night. He gave up three hits with zero walks while striking out nine on the night. A solo home run by Mitch Garver in the fifth inning was the lone blemish for Kelly. The 35-year-old […]

Corbin Carroll Moved To Second For Game 2

Arizona Diamondback outfielder Corbin Carroll will swap places in the lineup with Ketel Marte. The Texas Rangers will start Jordan Montgomery for Game 2, moving the lefty-hitting Carroll down a slot. The Arizona lineup will stay the same as Game 1 outside of that small change. The more surprising move may be that Alek Thomas […]

Jace Peterson Added To World Series Roster For Arizona

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Jace Peterson was added to the World Series roster in place of pitcher Slade Cecconi. Peterson started the year with the Oakland Athletics and could now be days away from winning a World Series. The journeyman is known more for his speed than anything and could be used as a pinch-runner/late-inning defensive […]

Alek Thomas Hitting Seventh In Game 1

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas is in the lineup for Game 1 of the World Series, hitting seventh for the away team. Thomas will likely sit against a left-handed starter, such as Jordan Montgomery or Andrew Heaney, but he will likely start when a righty is on the mound. Thomas is an excellent defensive center […]

We've made it all the way to the World Series, baseball friends! Probably not the two teams anyone was expecting, but this will likely be a really fun World Series to watch and follow.

Zac Gallen To Start Game 1 Of World Series

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen will start Game 1 of the 2023 World Series against the Texas Rangers on Friday. Not much surprise in the starting pitchers named by manager Torey Lovullo. Merrill Kelly will start Game 2 with Brandon Pfaadt taking the bump for Game 3. Game 4 sounds like a toss-up for […]

Ryan Thompson Picks Up First Playoff Win In Game 7

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Ryan Thompson picked up his first career playoff win in the 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series on Tuesday night. Thompson entered in the fifth inning to face left-handed slugger Kyle Schwarber and eventually went 1 1/3 perfect innings to pick up […]

Paul Sewald's Sixth Save Sends Arizona To Fall Classic

Arizona Diamondbacks closer Paul Sewald picked up his sixth save of the postseason on Tuesday night in the 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series to send his team to the World Series against the Texas Rangers. Sewald pitched a clean bottom of the ninth inning with […]

Brandon Pfaadt Strikes Out Seven In No-Decision

Arizona Diamondbacks rookie right-hander Brandon Pfaadt had a pretty solid Game 7 start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night in the National League Championship Series, all things considered. In four innings of work, Pfaadt gave up two earned runs on four hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out seven for a no-decision. […]

Corbin Carroll Carries Diamondbacks To The World Series

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll, the likely National League Rookie of the Year in 2023, almost single-handedly led the team to the World Series in a 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 7 of the NL Championship Series on Tuesday night. Carroll went 3-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored, two stolen bases […]

Ketel Marte Named NLCS MVP

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte didn't have a great Game 7 at all in the 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, but he was still named the National League Championship Series MVP. Marte finished Tuesday's winner-take-all contest 1-for-5 with a double and four strikeouts to extend his playoff hitting streak to 16 games. It's […]

Tommy Pham Remains In The Lineup For Game 7

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Tommy Pham will remain in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's Game 7 against the Philadelphia Phillies. The veteran outfielder will make his second straight start here. It makes sense that the D-Backs would keep Pham in the lineup after he homered in Game 6. The D-Backs will hope his bat stays […]

Brandon Pfaadt To Start Game 7 For Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks rookie right-hander Brandon Pfaadt is set to start Game 7 of the National League Championship Series on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Pfaadt will become just the fifth rookie to start a winner-take-all Game 7 in the LCS. And dating back to the beginning of the modern World Series in 1903, only 13 […]

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen said he expects to be available for Game 7 of the National League Championship Series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night in relief.

Pavin Smith Makes Way Into Game 5 Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman/outfielder Pavin Smith will start at DH and bat fifth in Game 5 of the NLCS. Smith appeared in just 69 games during the regular season, hitting to the tune of .188 with a .325 slugging percentage. The lefty is 3-for-4 in the NLCS after coming off the bench the last two […]

Alek Thomas Plays The Hero In Game 4

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit, two-run home run in a 6-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 4 of the NLCS on Friday. Thomas started this game on the bench as the Phillies went with southpaw Cristopher Sanchez as their starter. The D-Backs were facing a 5-3 deficit in […]

Alek Thomas Retreats To The Bench

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas will remain out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's Game 4 against the Philadelphia Phillies. The D-Backs will stick with their Game 3 lineup here. That means, Thomas will sit out his second straight game against a left-handed starting pitcher. Possibly, Thomas comes off the bench as a pinch-hitter […]
