In Phoenix, neither team managed to score until the seventh inning, when Mitch Garver brought Corey Seager home with a run. During the ninth inning, the Rangers extended their lead when Jonah Heim’s base hit drove in two runs following a fielding error, and Marcus Semien’s two-run homer sealed the deal for the celebration.
Throughout the game, the Diamondbacks remained competitive, thanks to a strong performance from starting pitcher Zac Gallen, who threw six scoreless innings. However, in the seventh inning, he loaded the bases, allowing Mitch Garver to break the scoreless tie. Despite their efforts, the Diamondbacks left 11 baserunners stranded during the fifth game. This provided Rangers’ starter Nathan Eovaldi with the opportunity to claim the victory.
