  • On Friday, the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Cleveland Guardians 4-1 in Cleveland, moving into sole possession of the second National League wild-card spot.
  • Rallying in the eighth, Geraldo Perdomo and catcher Gabriel Moreno hit back-to-back RBI singles off Erik Sabrowski, with Ketel Marte adding an RBI and Corbin Carroll scoring on an error by right fielder Angel Martínez.
  • Rookie pitcher Mitch Bratt threw five scoreless innings while Jonathan Loaisiga earned the win and Brandyn Garcia secured his third save. Moreno extended his on-base streak to 27 games and reached safely in 46 consecutive starts.
  • Despite losing seven of their last nine games, the Guardians remain in possession of the third and final American League wild-card spot. Guardians starter Tanner Bibee allowed two runs and three hits over 7 1/3 innings.
