Juan Francisco Estrada-Jesse Rodriguez close for June 29

Juan Francisco Estrada and Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez are concluding a June 29 fight in Glendale, Arizona, for Estrada’s WBC junior bantamweight title, sources told ESPN. Rodriguez, a unified champion at 112 pounds, is returning to 115 for a shot at the future Hall of Famer. Named ESPN’s No. 1 boxer under 25 years old in December, Rodriguez (19-0, 12 KOs) scored a career-best victory that month when he stopped Sunny Edwards in nine rounds to unify flyweight titles. “Bam” is on the cusp of pound-for-pound recognition, but he first must push past of the all-time greats in the lower weights in what shapes up as a […]

D-backs top Phillies in Game 7, make 1st World Series since ’01

Doubted and dismissed when baseball’s postseason started, the Arizona Diamondbacks have spent October embodying the words of their manager, Torey Lovullo. “Anything can happen,” he likes to tell them. What happened Tuesday night set up perhaps the most improbable World Series in baseball history: The Diamondbacks stunned the heavily favored Philadelphia Phillies with a 4-2 triumph in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series. For the second consecutive night, they sauntered into Citizens Bank Park, a hellscape for visiting teams that had gone winless during the first six games here this postseason, and defeated the Phillies twice. In doing so, the 84-win Diamondbacks, […]

Diamondbacks erase early deficit again and beat Brewers 5-2 to sweep NL Wild Card Series

Two years after suffering through a 110-loss season, the Arizona Diamondbacks are spraying champagne and heading to the NL Division Series. They feel like they belong, too. “In ’22, you kind of saw the shift toward the end of the year, and then we came in this year and this is what we expected to do,” Zac Gallen said after he pitched the Diamondbacks to a 5-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night and a sweep of their NL Wild Card Series. “We expected to be playing in October.” It’s the first NL Division Series for the franchise since 2017. The Diamondbacks will take […]

Diamondbacks rally against Nationals’ beleaguered bullpen in 10-5 win

Pavin Smith homered and drove in three runs and the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied versus Washington’s beleaguered bullpen to defeat the Nationals 10-5 on Tuesday night. Josh Rojas also had three RBI for Arizona, which moved ahead of Los Angeles for the NL West lead soon after the game when the Dodgers blew a late lead at Cincinnati. The Diamondbacks have gained seven of nine to improve to 36-25. “We just chipped away,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said after his team trailed 4-1 after one inning. “That was my mindset. It was still early. We had a chance to play catch-up if we did what […]

Brewers’ playoff hopes end despite 6-5 win over Diamondbacks

Hunter Renfroe homered in a ninth-inning comeback and singled home the winning run in the 10th but the Milwaukee Brewers were eliminated from postseason contention on Monday night despite a 6-5 triumph over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Brewers knew at the start of the night they could earn the NL’s final wild-card spot only if they won their last three matches while Philadelphia lost three consecutive. Milwaukee’s chances ended nine minutes after their walk-off when the Phillies (87-73) beat the beat the Houston Astros 3-0 to clinch the National League’s third and final wild card. Milwaukee (85-75) trailed 4-1 before tying the game in the ninth […]

HR-happy Dodgers surge past D-Backs, win doubleheader opener

Although the Los Angeles Dodgers keep falling behind early, they’ve had enough power lately to make sure they don’t stay there. Mookie Betts, Trea Turner and Justin Turner homered in a five-run sixth inning, and the Dodgers outlasted the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6 Tuesday to start the first doubleheader ever played between the NL West rivals. Will Smith also connected early for the Dodgers, whose four homers matched their season high. Betts also doubled and singled, and Freddie Freeman added a key RBI single in the seventh inning of Los Angeles’ third consecutive win after a four-game skid. The Dodgers fell behind by multiple runs for the seventh consecutive game, but rallied […]

Gilbert sharp as Diamondbacks hurt Mariners again in 5-4 win

Tyler Gilbert gave up two hits in another sharp outing, Ketel Marte homered and the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Seattle Mariners 5-4 on Sunday. Arizona did more damage to the Mariners’ AL wild-card hopes with its second consecutive win, taking the series from a team that was surging just two days ago. Seattle is now three games behind Boston for the second wild-card spot with the Red Sox coming to town Monday for a three-game series. It was the first road series victory for the Diamondbacks since April 23-25 when they took two of three from Atlanta. Asked if he remembered the last road series win, David Peralta paused […]

Lowe helps power Rangers sweep past Diamondbacks 8-5

Nathaniel Lowe didn’t want to steal the thunder from his brother Josh’s big day. Lowe had three hits and missed a cycle by a home run as the Texas Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-5 Wednesday to match a season high with their fourth consecutive win. The big news in the Lowe family was the major league debut of younger brother Josh with Nathaniel’s former team, the Tampa Bay Rays. He was in the Rays’ starting lineup, batting eighth and playing right field, versus the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Wednesday night. Nathaniel had a shot at the cycle in the ninth but grounded out. “I […]

Josh VanMeter homered in a six-run third inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks knocked out Yu Darvish on the way to an 8-3 triumph over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. Luke Weaver (3-3), making his first start in 3 1/2 months, took a shutout into the sixth inning.  Pavin Smith and Ketel Marte had three hits apiece. Arizona, which was held hitless for seven innings by Blake Snell on Tuesday, busted out with 13 hits Wednesday to snap a five-game skid, prevent a series sweep and keep the Padres from gaining ground in the NL wild-card race. San Diego started the day tied with Cincinnati for the second wild-card berth. The Reds lost […]

Arizona Diamondbacks’ 24-game road losing skid finally ends with rout of Padres

It had been 62 days and 24 road matches since the Arizona Diamondbacks shook hands on an opponent’s field after a triumph. “You can’t imagine how good it feels,” manager Torey Lovullo said after the Diamondbacks snapped their MLB-record, 24-game road losing streak by routing the San Diego Padres 10-1 on Saturday night. Merrill Kelly threw six strong scoreless innings, and Eduardo Escobar had four hits and five RBIs. Escobar and Christian Walker homered for the Diamondbacks, who hadn’t won away from Chase Field since April 25, when Madison Bumgarner pitched seven no-hit innings at Atlanta. “I’m proud of these guys,” Lovullo said. “We played a real good baseball game today, […]
