Cubs vs. D-backs Game Highlights (3/30/25) | MLB Highlights

One of the big things in terms of a Diamondbacks successful season is the rotation of course that means the return from injury last year of the big left hander Eduardo Rodriguez who will make his season debut. Suzuki has been very quiet in the opening games of the season just two for twenty one. And that one ripped into center field and a base hit. And now Justin Turner behind in the count two and 0. Rolled right to Perdomo it's going to go to second careful there but again to the out that time and a scoreless first Diamondbacks coming up we get our first look in the regular season and Matthew Boyd left handed starting pitcher Ritchick in the cleanup spot. Here's the pitch swung on and missed he got him on a high fastball as B. Swanson leads off of the Cubs. Here's the high fly ball deep left center field. This ball's got a chance gone Dan's B. Swanson with a long home run and the Cubs lead one to nothing. He hit that ball out near the 413 sign in left center and it cleared the wall by plenty. That's one of the longer home runs we've seen Dan's be hit ever. Josh Naylor digs in for his first at bat as the one to swing in a ground ball right side giving up on it is Horner here he baffles it and Naylor is going to beat it out. Here comes Suarez who has hit four home runs in the first three games of this series. Swing and a miss ring him up two down now and here's the catcher Jose Herrera. In the air right field Horner out waving his arms. Nico has it and makes the play. So back to back walks and now you've got to face Dan's B. Swanson. Here's your ground ball. Gino gets it started. Hampson turns it they got to here's Horner first pitch swung on and a lazy fly to right Grichuk coming in he'll make the catch. The inning is over and the Cubs who had runners at first and second with nobody out don't score here's Josh who singled in the second and now the three to pitch Naylor takes it for ball four and that's going to bring up Alec Thomas a pitch from Boyd swing and a line drive right center field that's a base hit Naylor will hold it second Tucker Cape charging in ready to throw two on and two out for Jose Herrera and one two on the ground right at Nico picks it up and throws it out the shortstop Geraldo Perdomo at the plate. But it it's a good one Horner gets over. Out at first well done by Nico he's scrambled to the bag held on to the base and Perdomo is waiting to see if they're going to look at it. They will not tell. Wow not an easy play at all for Boyd's great work by Nico to hang on make the play and now it's going to be up to Grichuk Boyd works his motion the two to a swing and a miss strike three got him with the fastball Marte stranded at second. Is he at half the three two is outside it is ball for say Suzuki batting Suzuki drills this one out towards right center field this one back on its way. God says Suzuki will touch him all and the Cubs take a three nothing lead Suzuki with his first of the season Tori Lovello now off his perch and out of the field and out to make a change. Brian Thompson coming in two down and here's the shortstop Swanson slider swung on popped up on the infield and Garrett Hampson just in front of second base makes the catch and the inning is over. It is right hander Nate Pearson making his third outing of the season. He works to Josh Naylor. Naylor's been aboard all three times he has singled and walked twice. We'll get a pinch hitter for Hampson. Here comes Pavin Smith into the gap that gets down. Yeah go Josh go Naylor chugging into third they're going to stop him there. Pinch hit double who's got a Craven for Pavin pinch hit double by Pavin Smith sets up second and third with only one out. You need something positive here from Alec Thomas second and third one out. Live all right field Alex Alex Thomas comes up just shy. This will get a run home Naylor chugging in Pavin into third and third at just missed tying the game there but he gets the Diamondbacks on the board. Now we're seeing another pinch hitter runner at third two outs. Here comes Corbin Carroll as a bouncer out toward short scooped up by Swanson throw to first in time. So the damage is minimal. Most the guy the D-backs need to get going here. Lord is Scurrio Jr. Well that's going to help Curtis shoots one through the hole out there and now two on for Moreno. Now the one oh fastball swung off that's ripped into left field a base hit Marte going to be sent home he will score RBI single for Gabby and the Diamondbacks are just down a run. Big swing by Moreno really showing his offensive prowess. New pitcher for the Cubs is the veteran left hander Caleb Theobar is facing Josh Naylor. Theobar brought in to get the left hander he loses him on four pitches and they're loaded for Gino. And boy is this set up or what. Only six players in major league history have homered in four consecutive games to start a season to two struck him out. Wow. Big strikeout for Caleb Theobar and now the D-backs going to their final bench option. Jake McCarthy the one on the way swinging a bouncer toward first love by Turner unassisted play for out number three Diamondbacks have brought on left hander Joe Bade applied Miguel Amaya first up the pitch swing and a liner base hit out of the right center field. Ian Hap steps in on the ground the third. Hap first and second nobody out. Seah Suzuki has the game's big blow it. Perdomo at shortstop Marte for one. Yes they are. They're going to challenge this and it's the eighth inning. So if it's close yes they're going to be so bold as to mark say a safe at first base on my scorecard after review the ruling at second base is confirmed the runner is out the ruling at first base first and third one away Kyle Tucker do up and that is hammered right field way back. Forget it. We'll touch them all for the Cubs lead it six to two. Bang yeah. He took a swing at that one like he knew it was coming back on that breaking ball and unloaded back to back walks and Craig Council's going to go get him. Eli Morgan making his second appearance. Here's Geraldo Perdomo. It almost slams it to right center that gets down and here we go. Alec will score here comes Corbin Geraldo Perdomo with a two run double and the D-Bex will bring the tying run to the plate as it's now six to four one out Guerrero at the plate. Guerrero Guerrero's first of the season or did not come at a good time. A fastball just up in the zone over the middle of the plate. Guerrero who's already hit a couple of line drives to left field this game. This time he got it elevated and sent a screaming over the wall and left. And now Gabriel Moreno three two for Morgan reached for again that's poked in the right field of a set and the go ahead run is on for Naylor. Moore runs already home. Naylor to center from Armstrong can go get him. Not this time. Go Gabby go. He's going to score. And the Diamondbacks have the lead. Suarez was walked intentionally because the Diamondbacks have the pitcher spot up. And so Ryan Nelson is going to come up and pinch hit. Come on. Two in one on Nelly get through. There it is. Ryan Nelson's got a RBI knock. He's driven in one and get the second run at home as Gino's out. Oh my goodness. Ryan Nelson with an RBI single he's grinning from ear to ear. And even with the out at the plate the Diamondbacks lead at eight to six. Unbelievable Alec Thomas who led off this inning with a walk swaying line drive right field base hit Nelson going to be waved around third and he will score. And the magical eighth inning for the Diamondbacks comes to an end you would think with the pitcher Nelson bringing home the ninth run of the day. Colin Ray is now doing the pitching for the Cubs. Corbin Carroll will be the first first man to face him. Slices one to deep left center Crow Armstrong will play it off the wall. They're going to wave Alec Thomas. There's no throw and it's ten to six. And Carroll with an RBI double to make it an eight run bottom of the eight. It's not over yet. Kyle Tucker is due up if Kyle gets on the tying run would be up again for the Cubs. Got him. Backs close out a sensational comeback the largest comeback win in the majors so far this year.
