First Inning


The first inning set an early tone as Arizona's lineup came out swinging. The D-Backs scored two runs on three hits, immediately putting pressure on Chicago's defense. Despite efforts from White Sox starter Shane Smith, who had an ERA of 22.5 in this outing, he was unable to contain Arizona's aggressive approach.


Second Inning


Arizona continued their offensive momentum into the second inning by adding three more runs with just one hit and capitalizing on walks issued by Smith. This surge increased their lead to five runs and highlighted a critical moment in what would become a dominant performance by the Snakes.


Middle Innings


As we moved into innings three through five, both teams saw limited scoring opportunities. However, Arizona managed to add another run in the fifth inning thanks to consistent hitting from their lineup. Meanwhile, Chicago’s batters were stifled by effective pitching from Arizona’s bullpen.


Late Innings


Innings six through eight saw no change in score for either team until Arizona broke through again in the ninth inning with two additional runs off three hits against Chicago’s bullpen pitchers like Wikelman González and Tyler Gilbert who struggled despite previous solid performances.


Final Inning


The final half of the ninth inning concluded without any further scoring from either side but cemented a decisive victory for Arizona over Chicago at home turf—Rate Field witnessed another tough loss for its home team amid sparse attendance figures numbering just over twelve thousand fans present that evening.
