Yes Corbin Carroll is back a lot of people were saying five to six weeks with this injury. It's been two so yeah He proved us right again. He's tough great to have him back off that I am right hander Ryan Nelson 18 appearances eight starts and thriving now that he's back in a full-time rotation spot Yeah Coming off a start against the Giants when he went six and two-thirds gave up only two runs on five hits did not walk a batter And punched out seven in that game and Jonathan India sent to lead it off in game two Got a fastball and lifted it out to guess who welcome back the new guy Corbin Carroll Bobby Witt Jr Steps in he leads the Royals and runs hits an OPS and the secondary stuff has been effective as well It gets wet to offer the curveball and picks up his first strikeout. Here is Vinny Pascuintino Hard to first Nailer's got it Ryan Nelson depressant start Diamondbacks coming up against Michael Walker Walker Walker And here's Michael Walker making his 18th start and with three innings today He'll be triple digits in innings pitched Here is Corbin second in the National League and slugging behind only show hey Ohtani changeup sky down the first baseline headed for the redeems of the roof Salvador Perez is at first tracks it toward the side netting and makes the catch Right up against the railing and the netting that retires Carroll It's gonna bring up pavement Smith swung on and miss strike three great changeup down in a way Smith comes up empty Walker's got a strikeout to end a one-two-three Bottom of the first inning Mike L Garcia the cleanup hitter will get it started for the Royals now the one-two strike three call Another fastball this time Garcia Spectated it as Nelson's got his second strikeout and two down for the right fielder Jack Caglio This is hit pretty well the other way Lourdes on the run near the line He's got it six up six down for Ryan Nelson no score Diamondbacks and the Kansas City Royals Josh Naylor left-handed hitter and Naylor skies it down the left field line tailing foul Mike Hill Garcia is over by the side that he reaches out makes a backhand grab Into the side getting he hangs on for the out one away Garcia plucked it right before it got into the netting. That's the second time today already One up one down for walking he's retired all four of these faced This one's not quite got the distance, but it might drop in and sure enough It's a bloop single those count to you know going into a homerun trot just out of habit. I think Hey, you got to stop there. I go real yesterday. It was one four five extended his hitting streak to six games Nick Lofton man love in between the ball and the turf and that play right there was one of the most difficult plays Right at you coming in that's a tough judgment play right there for sure James McCann Who's gets the start behind the plate today? And he punches one the other way got a fastball and knocked it into right two on a two out for Alec Thomas three two Runners on the move and Alec stays patient boy Walker just pounding him in with four seamers and sinkers and Alec didn't chase. They're loaded for blaze Caglione is there so Alexander got a hold of one with the bases loaded But he lines out and the Diamondbacks strand three against Walker for mean catching day game after a night game He was back there last night as well right back up the box Perdomo a diving stop Got him her Aldo Perdomo a spectacular play up the middle around number two right through the wickets of Ryan Nelson out there on the mound look at Perdomo go to the other side of the bag out there to make that diving stop keep the ball out of center field and get up In time to fire the first base and get for me What a play and they got the second out Isbell bats nine grounded to second and no problem for blaze Alexander It's a third consecutive one two three inning turned in by Nelson And we go to the bottom of the third the Royals nothing the Diamondbacks nothing that brings up Geraldo Perdomo Walker making a concerted effort to run these fastballs in on the left-hand batters Think the dugout saying the same thing they might want to have a challenge Nick Tomlinson is going to give them their 15 seconds to make up their mind and Fannister on the phone with Alan Campbell Nope play on that time. I got it putter running in on the left-hander and the Bluebirds are out in force And so is Max Esposito. He's smiling and joking. When is he not? Base runner for Pavin Smith now even stays patient does not chase those changeup. That's the mistake He made the first at bat he learned from it took a few there and worked a walk So now it's two on and one out for Taylor Josh up the middle and it bounces into center Perdomo coming home paving into third and it's one nothing Diamondbacks. Josh Naylor with the RBI now It's Suarez who you remarked upon has tremendous Success in his career against Walker already a base hit today. Naylor holds Suarez slams it to left and here we go Taylor chugging for third and it's two nothing Diamondbacks Gino two for two Four consecutive have reached with one out. They're building an inning now There are two down the kid had a 0-2 base hit his last time up Garcia gets the out at second base But the Diamondbacks get a hit batter and a walk and both come around to score and now one down for Bobby Witt Jr 98 he just powered up and blew it right by Bobby Witt Jr. That's the right Nelson. We've seen lately He is just bullying guys with that aggressive fastball and strike three called Nelson took a tumble right after the pitch, but he just is rocking and rolling in this start They put everything he had into this one to get past Quintino and took a tumble Yeah, the left foot came down in that front hole and kind of slipped a little bit He ended up on the seat of his pants, but came off the field with a smile on his face Of course Max Esposito right away came over you okay, and he's just sitting there laughing about it Another one two three inning and it sends us to the bottom of the fourth Thomas Alexander and Carroll coming up in the fourth And that was not a very good swing, but a swing it was and Freddie is down to Salvi to complete the strikeout What happened there Michael Walker went to throw the pitch his foot had landed He hadn't thrown the ball and then just sort of tossed it, but he is indicating to everyone. He's okay Oh, he lost the grip as he was into his lineup. He almost dropped the baseball. He should have dropped the baseball He didn't have to throw this and now that's gonna cost him a pitch It was just a little bit low and outside to Alexander, but I didn't like his arm angle there either and walk up strikes him out in an at-bat that began with a 50-foot Sidearm pitch for ball one and now here is Carroll with two down and down he goes and Michael walk up who had one of the Goofiest pitches he's had since he's been a royal Set up striking out the side in the fourth inning and there are two outs now in the fifth And that's 14 in a row for Nelson bounced over the mound for Domo behind the bag Ryan Nelson three outs on nine pitches. He is perfect through five Holding it to nothing Lee, but it's gonna be the second consecutive Walk in the D-backs right back in business like they were the third candy and here comes Matt Quattro So that streak of 15 starts with at least five or more innings for Walker will come to an end Shriver comes in two on no outs gets the first two will fly out in the strikeout now He'll deal with Toriello's over two and rolls that fair. It's over the bag. It'll get Perdomo home Payton's on the move Sean Larkin gonna wave him home Here's the throw it's cut off and to run score a two run two out double There's the backbreaker there is Freddie for me for me dunks it into right center for the first Royals baserunner He sat down the first 16 and for me with a one-out single in the sixth We'll get an ovation from the D-backs fans on the third base side of the field They understand what Ryan Nelson did today. This was really something to watch Hopefully he can finish as strong as he started right there fastball at 97 right at the belt He bounces back after the base hit and gets his fifth strikeout the Royals have him on the corners with two doubts And Bobby Witt Jr. Coming up in a swing and a lighter right field. That's a base in here comes Freddie to score The Royals are on the board an opposite field RBI single Bobby Witt Jr. And the Royals are down four to one I'll make it a nine game hitting streak for Bobby Witt Jr. Now Vinny is due up lines it to center Alec will make the sliding grab Alec Thomas saves the day Right there and Ryan Nelson strands to he gets through six with a four one lead The pass watch is caught by Alec Thomas Randall bridging fullback He's up there to pinch it with first and second and two down and the center field is bell And he's got it and that saved Lynch a couple of runs Tell you what, you can't hit it his way anywhere. If you want to get a base hit, that's nice He over ran a tad but made a good a correction. And now here is Jack Caglione Live on the left Lourdes on the run near the line. Goriel's got it tip of the cap wag of the finger Ryan Nelson Sensational he completes seven innings gives up just the one run After he was perfect through five and a third bring up Lourdes Goriel Jr Massive two run double his last time up. Lourdes punches this down the right field line And it's off the glove of Caglione on the run and rolls Lourdes around second. He'll head for third. Here's the throw and it's off line Caglione made the diving catch Looks like it might have gone off the glove and it rolled toward the bullpen that gave Lourdes an extra 90 feet and he's in at third. James McCann with a runner at third and two down. McCann hits a little blooper that drops in for a knock Goriel's home and it's 5-1. McCann digging for second and he's in there standing up Goriel had a two out two run double in the fifth then Goriel the two out tripled the seventh and now McCann has the two out RBI Randall looked like when he hit that line drive in the sixth inning batting for Pavin Smith He was going to drive in a couple of runs Randall hits a high fly ball toward the pool. This one's got some carry to it and it is Off the wall. He just missed a home run. He might have it inside the Parker. Here he comes Randall Grishak's gonna score standing up No He got the mother of all Karams off that wall and rolled all the way out to center and he scored easily That thing hit the wall and rolled a good hundred feet off to the left And a bad deal came all the way home Let's see. Are they calling this a inside the Parker? Did it hit behind the fence? I hit the chair So that was over the fence. He could have jogged home. Here's my kill Garcia by ball to right And the new guy's got it Corbin Carroll Diamondbacks close out a 7-1 win over Kansas City They snap the three game losing skid and they're back within a game of 500
