First Inning

The Arizona Diamondbacks faced off against the Washington Nationals at Chase Field, with both teams entering the game with identical records of 27-30.

The Snakes managed to get 5 hits during this inning, setting a high bar for their offensive performance.

Third Inning

In the third inning, Arizona continued their offensive momentum by adding 2 more runs to their tally. This was achieved through strategic batting that saw them accumulate another 4 hits.

Sixth Inning

Despite not scoring in several innings following their initial surge, the D-Backs maintained control over the game through solid pitching and fielding efforts.
