Diamondbacks NARROWLY Escape Tigers in Home Opener Behind Michael Soroka’s DOMINANT Debut

Michael Soroka delivered a debut for the ages in a Diamondbacks uniform, racking up 10 strikeouts and an immaculate inning to power Arizona to its first win of the 2026 season over the Tigers. But while Soroka was dominant, the bullpen nearly turned a historic night into a disaster late. We break down everything from Soroka’s electric performance to the tense finish by the pen, plus hear from Torey Lovullo, Soroka, and Corbin Carroll after the game.

We also dive into the controversy surrounding the new ribbon boards at Chase Field and how they’re impacting sightlines for fans in the 300 level (and even Derek in the press box). And as always, we wrap things up on a Monday with your questions from the Mailbag!
