The Diamondbacks came out swinging in the second inning with a homer by Geraldo Perdomo, putting us behind 2-0. Corbin Carroll added to our woes in the 5th inning with a 2-run homerun, stretching their lead to 4-0. However, Josh Naylor gave us a fighting chance with a solo homer in the bottom of the 5th to make it 4-1.Fighting Back But Falling Short
The Guardians showed some spark in the fifth inning when Andrés Giménez singled and then advanced to score off Brayan Rocchio’s double. Josh Naylor flied out leading to an unfortunate double play that ended our inning abruptly. Final score at the end of the 5th was 4-2.Final Push Wasn't Enough
Both teams were pretty even through the 7th inning. Our hopes were briefly revived in the 8th when José Ramírez singled, driving in Steven Kwan and shortening their lead to 5-3. But the D-backs extended their lead in the 9th with a 2-run homer by Ketel Marte.Close but Not Quite There
Despite some late efforts from Andrés Giménez who reached on an infield single and advanced to second, the game ended in favor of the Diamondbacks 7-3. It's been a challenging outing, but let's not lose hope, Guardians fans! We'll get them next time!
