Carroll’s walk-off two-run HR lifts D-backs 8–7 over Marlins

What happened

The ESPN recap from Monday night in Phoenix has Corbin Carroll hitting a game-winning two-run home run with one out in the ninth as the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied to beat the Miami Marlins 8–7. Carroll pulled a splitter from Jack Ralston (0-1) just inside the right-field foul pole for his 21st homer of the season. Marlins closer Pete Fairbanks started the ninth, walked leadoff hitter Gabriel Moreno, threw one pitch to Geraldo Perdomo, then left with an apparent injury; Ralston entered, retired Perdomo on a sacrifice bunt, and Carroll ended it. That is the Sports filing: a late comeback, a foul-pole walk-off, and an 8–7 final.

Jordan Lawlar’s two-run homer in the eighth off Tyler Zuber had cut Arizona’s deficit to 7–6. Juan Morillo (4-4) struck out the side in the ninth for the Diamondbacks. Corbin Burnes was roughed up in his second start since returning from Tommy John surgery, giving up five runs over 4⅔ innings. Sandy Alcantara allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings for Miami, striking out six. Cartoon ballplayers only — never likenesses of living athletes. Bright D-backs red-teal and Chase Field night. White gutters. The ESPN recap URL is the receipt. Skip farm-system speculation and keep politics out of the dugout.

September baseball still moves wild-card math on nights like this. A two-run walk-off after a Fairbanks injury and a Lawlar eighth-inning cut is a clean Sports slot for a Tuesday filing. Readers get Moreno’s leadoff walk, Perdomo’s sac bunt, Carroll’s splitter just inside the foul pole for No. 21, Lawlar’s 7–6 trimmer, Morillo’s three strikeouts, Burnes’s rough 4⅔, Alcantara’s four runs in five, and the 8–7 board — not a season retrospective, just one Monday’s wire from Phoenix.

Why it matters

A ninth-inning two-run blast that flips 7–6 into 8–7 is the strip: Fairbanks exit, sac bunt, foul-pole crack, D-backs 8 Marlins 7. Color on the walk-off fireworks and the Chase Field night board. White gutters. Readers get Carroll’s 21st homer, Ralston’s 0-1 line, Lawlar’s eighth-inning two-run shot, Morillo’s 4-4 shut-down inning, Burnes’s five runs in 4⅔, Alcantara’s four in five, and the source URL on the page.

Conclusion

Corbin Carroll’s game-winning two-run home run with one out in the ninth — his 21st, a splitter from Jack Ralston just inside the right-field foul pole — lifted the Diamondbacks past the Marlins 8–7 in Phoenix after Fairbanks walked Moreno and exited injured, Perdomo sac-bunted, Lawlar’s eighth-inning two-run homer cut it to 7–6, and Juan Morillo (4-4) struck out the side, per ESPN.
