It truly lived up to the hype. A classic pitcher’s duel between Zac Gallen and Tarik Skubal in the series finale between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Detroit Tigers. In a game where every pitch mattered, Corbin Carroll’s clutch solo home run proved to be the difference maker, backing a near-flawless outing from Gallen and a lockdown performance from the bullpen. The result was a historic moment for Arizona, securing the franchise’s first-ever series sweep of the Tigers at Chase Field.
We break down the dominant pitching on both sides, the D-backs’ defense taking a noticeable leap forward with Jose Fernandez at first base, and why clawing back to .500 feels so significant after a tough opening sweep in Los Angeles.
