Rays Walk-Off Victory Ends Diamondbacks Win Streak
Diamondbacks Lose 5-4 in Heartbreaking Fashion
McCarthy's Error Proves Costly
In a dramatic end to Friday night's game, the Arizona Diamondbacks saw their six-game winning streak snapped in heartbreaking fashion.
With the game tied 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth inning, Tampa Bay Rays' Isaac Paredes hit a walk-off single to center field.
The hit came after Diamondbacks center fielder Jake McCarthy failed to field a ground ball cleanly, allowing Paredes to reach first base.
- Rays' Win Streak Extends to Four: The Rays' victory extended their win streak to four games.
- Diamondbacks' Streak Snapped at Six: The Diamondbacks' six-game win streak came to an abrupt end.
- Parades' Walk-Off Heroics: Paredes' walk-off single proved to be the game-winning hit.
- McCarthy's Costly Error: McCarthy's fielding error allowed the Rays to extend the inning and ultimately win the game.
The loss was a disappointing end to a strong performance by the Diamondbacks, who had tied the game in the ninth inning on a two-run homer by Corbin Carroll.
Despite the loss, the Diamondbacks remain in a strong position in the NL West, sitting just 1.5 games behind the division-leading San Diego Padres.
The Diamondbacks will look to bounce back from Friday's loss when they face the Rays again on Saturday night.
