First Inning


The game began with promise for the Diamondbacks as they quickly took control in the first inning. Scoring 1 run on 2 hits, they set an early pace that seemed to put pressure on San Diego's defense. Alek Thomas and Ketel Marte were instrumental during this period, contributing significantly to Arizona's offensive efforts.


Second Inning


Continuing their momentum into the second inning, the Snakes added another run to their tally. Despite only managing one hit during this frame, they capitalized on opportunities presented by San Diego's pitching staff. However, from this point forward, Arizona struggled to maintain their offensive rhythm.


Seventh Inning


As both teams entered the seventh inning with Arizona leading by two runs and having recorded four hits overall while committing one error defensively; it was here that San Diego began mounting its comeback effort. The Padres managed to score a crucial run which narrowed down Arizona’s lead significantly.


Ninth Inning


In what proved decisive for Slam Diego’s victory bid – scoring twice more within just four hits during ninth-inning action – ultimately sealed fate against an otherwise resilient home side performance throughout much of earlier gameplay stages witnessed today across Phoenix-based venue grounds alike!


Despite solid performances from key players like Corbin Carroll who boasted impressive stats including .333 average alongside hitting one home run plus securing RBI credit too; unfortunately such individual achievements weren’t enough collectively speaking when considering overall team dynamics involved here tonight either way around indeed...
