     Arizona(80-71) evened it up 3-3 during the bottom of the third. They pulled off a double steal as Jordan Lawlar scored from third off a Otto Lopez throwing error. Lars Nootbaar later lifted a two-run home run over the right-center field wall on a 2-2 pitch for his seventh homer of the season.
     The Marlins reclaimed the lead 5-3 in the top of the fourth with back-to-back home runs. Marsee chalked up his 10th homer of the year and Sanoja followed with his ninth home run of the campaign. 
     The Diamondbacks cut it to a one-run margin 5-4 in the fifth inning. Corbin Carroll singled into left field and Nootbaar crossed the plate. 
     The Fish added two more runs in the seventh inning for a 7-4 lead. Kyle Stowers knocked in Mack with a double into the left-center field gap. Two batters later, Xavier Edwards drove in Stowers on a base hit through the right side. 
     The D-Backs closed it to 7-6 in the bottom of the eighth. Lawler powered a two-run homer to left-center field on a 2-1 count for his fifth home run this season. Tim Tawa scored in front of him on the play. 
      Arizona leaped over Miami in the bottom of ninth. Carroll powered a walk-off, two-run homer to right field on a 2-1 pitch with Tommy Troy aboard for an 8-7 victory. It turned out to be Carroll's 21st homer in 2026.
