Corbin Carroll Extends 12-Game Streak Before Diamondbacks Vs Giants
Corbin Carroll kept rolling before diamondbacks vs giants, going 4-for-4 with two triples and two RBI on Sunday and pushing his hitting streak to 12 games. Arizona carried that form into San Francisco after sweeping the Giants in Phoenix the previous week, while the Giants arrived at 22-31 after scoring 18 runs in two weekend wins over the White Sox.
Carroll’s 12-Game Run
Carroll’s line was the sharpest number in the matchup. Two triples and two RBI gave Arizona another burst from the top of the order, and the streak now sits at 12 games after he handled Sunday’s game with four hits in four trips.
That came in support of an Arizona club that had already finished a 6-1 homestand with a 9-1 win over Colorado. The Diamondbacks produced 13 hits and seven extra-base hits against Colorado, and Ryne Nelson covered a career-best eight innings to close that trip with a strong pitching line behind the offense.
Arizona’s Recent Edge
The Diamondbacks entered at 28-24 and third in the NL West, a cleaner position than San Francisco’s 22-31 record. They also had the more recent head-to-head edge: Arizona beat the Giants 5-3 on a walk-off after San Francisco led 3-1 into the ninth, a swing that turned last week’s series into a sweep in Phoenix.
Ketel Marte added another layer to Arizona’s recent surge. He carried an eight-game hitting streak and a 10-for-16 run, and he was the one who ended the game against San Francisco last week with a walk-off three-run homer.
Giants Hitters At Work
San Francisco’s weekend offered its own counterpoint. The Giants scored 18 runs across two wins over the White Sox, with 10 on Saturday and eight on Sunday, and Rafael Devers drove in five runs with a grand slam on Sunday before hitting his fifth home run of May.
Casey Schmitt has been the clearest power source in that stretch, with 11 home runs, 29 RBI, a.296 average, a.556 slugging percentage, a.260 ISO, a.387 wOBA and a 152 wRC+. He has homered three times in four games, while Luis Arraez has supplied a.320/.363/.426 contact base. That gives San Francisco a more productive lineup than the record suggests, but the Giants still had to answer Arizona’s cleaner recent run when the series shifted to San Francisco.
Monday’s matchup put those two trends together in one place: Arizona arrived with the better record and the hotter recent head-to-head, while the Giants arrived with a weekend offense that finally started producing runs in bunches. For San Francisco, the next step was proving those 18 runs were the start of a real push instead of a short burst against Chicago.
