Regular Season Thriller: Diamondbacks Triumph in Epic 13-Inning Battle Against Cubs!

In a heart-pounding showdown on September 16th, the Diamondbacks secured a nail-biting 7-6 victory over the Cubs in the longest regular-season game of the year. This marathon clash, lasting 13 innings, became the highlight of the front 162 and played a crucial role in the fierce competition for the last NL wild-card spot.

As the Diamondbacks faced off against the Cubs at Chase Field, the stakes were high, with tiebreakers against the Reds, a half-game lead over the Marlins, and a 1.5-game deficit to the Cubs. The tension only heightened as Zach Davies (Arizona) and Kyle Hendricks (Chicago) engaged in a scoreless pitching duel for the first three innings.

The game saw dramatic lead changes, with RBI hits from Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Christian Walker propelling the Diamondbacks into the lead in the fourth. However, the Cubs responded with a three-run surge in the fifth, setting the stage for an extra-inning thriller. The contest went through a series of ups and downs, with Andrew Saalfrank’s impressive escape in the 10th and Corbin Carroll’s clutch single leveling the score at 4-4.

The seesaw battle continued into the 11th and 12th innings, with both teams scoring their free runner, and Gurriel notching another RBI. In the 13th, the Cubs briefly took a 6-5 lead, leaving the Diamondbacks on the brink. In a stunning comeback, Emmanuel Rivera and Gabriel Moreno delivered two-strike, run-scoring singles, clinching a crucial walk-off win and paving the way for the Diamondbacks on their eventual journey to the World Series.
