On the other side, Ryan McMahon of the Rockies has also been a standout player. McMahon, holding down third base, demonstrated his prowess in a recent game with a batting average of .667 and an OPS of 1.75. His ability to consistently get on base and drive in runs has been crucial for the Rockies.


Over the last three games, both teams have showcased potential game-changers. For the Diamondbacks, aside from Suárez's remarkable hitting streak, Alek Thomas and Corbin Carroll have made significant contributions. Thomas displayed his skill with a .333 batting average and an OPS of 1.666 in one game, highlighting his power-hitting capability. Carroll contributed across multiple games with consistent hitting and fielding that kept the Diamondbacks competitive.

Hilliard has shown versatility with a .400 batting average and contributing RBIs, proving essential for the Rockies' scoring opportunities.


This upcoming game is not just about team strategies but also about individual brilliance that could tip the scales in favor of either team. Players like Suárez for the Diamondbacks and McMahon for the Rockies could very well be the deciding factors in what promises to be a closely contested matchup.
