Carroll’s homers accounted for all the Diamondbacks’ offense. Kelly fired seven strong innings, allowing one run on eight hits and no walks while striking out eight. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. made a terrific catch in left field in a key situation in the eighth inning.

Corbin Carroll hit two homers off Justin Verlander and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants 2-1.

Corbin Carroll is That Guy. He’s just so good, and he’s been on a tear since the second half of last season. He’s erased memories of that awful start to 2024, and tonight he torched Justin Verlander for a pair of home runs that proved to be all his team needed to take the first game of a 3-game series at Oracle Park.
