First Inning


The Diamondbacks set the tone early in the first inning with an aggressive offensive display. Alek Thomas contributed significantly by getting on base and setting up opportunities for his teammates. The Snakes managed to score their first run thanks to a combination of strategic hits and smart base running.


Second Inning


Arizona's momentum carried into the second inning as they unleashed a barrage of hits that resulted in three more runs. Gabriel Moreno was instrumental during this period, showcasing his hitting prowess with two crucial hits that helped extend their lead. By the end of this inning, Arizona had established a commanding presence on the field.


Middle Innings


As play continued into the third through sixth innings, both teams' defenses tightened up considerably. The G-Men struggled to find gaps in Arizona's defense while Eduardo Rodriguez kept them at bay with precise pitching. During these middle innings, Ketel Marte stood out defensively for Arizona by making several key plays that thwarted potential scoring opportunities for San Francisco.


Eighth Inning


The eighth inning saw a resurgence from San Francisco as they attempted to mount a comeback by scoring two runs off three hits against Arizona’s bullpen. However, despite this late push from San Francisco’s offense led by Joc Pederson's efforts at bat, it wasn't enough to close down on Arizona’s lead entirely.


Ninth Inning


In what turned out to be an intense ninth inning showdown between both sides’ pitchers and hitters alike; each team managed one run apiece but ultimately it was not sufficient for San Francisco who fell short against their rivals from across state lines - leaving final scores settled firmly within favor towards visiting side: 5-3 win secured firmly within grasping hands belonging solely unto those representing proud colors worn proudly upon jerseys bearing name "Diamondbacks."
