Diamondbacks Rally in 10th to Edge Royals | MLB News

0:00On September 8th, the Arizona Diamondbacks pulled off a dramatic win against the Kansas City Royals on Monday, scoring five runs in the 10th inning. To take a five-four victory, the game was scoreless through nine, but Arizona exploded for four two outruns in the 10th, including key hits from Gerardo Pardomo, Gabriel Moreno, and Nolan Aeronado. Lars Nudbar also contributed a crucial sacrifice fly to kick off the scoring. This win is a big deal for Arizona, putting them a game ahead of San Diego for the third National League Wildcard spot. The Royals made it interesting though, loading the bases and bringing the tying run to third in the bottom of the 10th. Salvador Perez hit a bases clearing double to make it a one-run game, but they couldn't quite tie it up. It's worth noting that Kansas City's starting pitcher Noah Cameron had a stellar outing, going six scoreless innings and allowing only three hits. He's been on a serious role since Lagerli, posting a really low-earned run average.

1:01This performance from Cameron really kept his team in the game. The Diamondbacks Justin Martinez picked up the win, and Dennis Santana closed it out for his third save. Craig Kimbrough took the loss for the Royals. Neither starter got the decision, as both teams relied heavily on their bullpen. The series continues Tuesday night with Michael Waka, scheduled to pitch for Kansas City. Arizona hasn't announced their starter yet. This was a tight game, and it's clear both teams are fighting hard as the season winds down. You've been listening to MLB News today, AI-powered baseball coverage.
