Corbin Carroll - Triples, knocks in two in win Carroll went 1-for-4 with a triple and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Colorado.

Impact Carroll finished off the scoring in a four-run first inning with a two-out, two-run triple. It turned out to be the game-winning knock. The triple was his league-leading 17th of the season and tied a career-best mark set in 2025. He's provided some key hits as the Diamondbacks chase a postseason berth; Carroll has two doubles, one triple, three home runs and 14 RBI over his last 11 contests.

Tim Tawa - Belts homer in win Tawa started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

Impact After erupting for four runs in the first inning, Arizona's lineup went silent until Tawa led off the top of the eighth inning with a solo home run. It was the 11th of the season for the versatile Tawa, who has started six consecuitve games, slotting in at center field four times with one start each in left field and at first base.

Jonathan Loáisiga - Secures second save of season Loaisiga earned the save after allowing one hit and one walk over a scoreless ninth inning in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

Impact Loaisiga was handed a two-run lead and made things interesting before closing out Arizona's victory. Colorado eventually put runners at second and third with two outs, but the right-hander escaped without allowing either to score after retiring Ezequiel Tovar on a popout to first to end the game. The scoreless frame not only lowered Loaisiga's ERA to 2.22 and kept the Diamondbacks' slim playoff chances alive, but it also marked the right-hander's sixth consecutive scoreless outing. Loaisiga has given up just two earned runs over his last 16 appearances and 17.2 innings, posting a pristine 0.51 ERA with a 11:1 K:BB over that stretch.

Merrill Kelly - Earns 10th win of season Wednesday Kelly (10-14) earned the win Wednesday against the Rockies after allowing two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two over 5.1 innings.

Impact Kelly worked with a four-run lead after the first inning and kept Colorado from completing a comeback, allowing an RBI double to Adael Amador in the second and a Hunter Goodman sacrifice fly in the third. The veteran has struggled with consistency in recent weeks, and for the most part, his results have been underwhelming, with three or more earned runs allowed in six of his last 10 starts. He closes out the regular season with a 4.94 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 113:70 K:BB across 29 starts and 162 innings.

Impact Lawlar looks to be slipping into a secondary role, as this will be the fourth time he's been out of the lineup over the Diamondbacks' last five games against right-handers. Tim Tawa will patrol center field for Arizona.

Michael Soroka - Fans nine in strong win Soroka (9-5) earned the win after allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk while striking out nine over seven innings in Tuesday's 7-2 victory over the Rockies.

Impact The Diamondbacks needed a strong outing from Soroka to keep their playoff chances alive, and the veteran delivering by fanning nine -- his highest mark since April 10, when he struck out 10. He's now allowed just one earned run in his last two starts, posting a 15:2 K:BB across 12 innings in that span.

Gabriel Moreno - Knocks in two in win Moreno went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-2 win over Colorado.

Impact Moreno delivered one run on a single during the team's three-run first inning. He later had a sacrifice fly to knock in another. The two RBI put him at a career-high 77 over 126 games in what has been a breakout season for the 26-year-old catcher. Most of the breakout has happened during the second half, as Moreno sports a .312/.383/.529 slash line with nine home runs, 19 doubles and 45 RBI across 57 contests since the All-Star break.

Nolan Arenado - Homers again Arenado went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Rockies.

Impact Arenado finished the Diamondbacks scoring with a solo homer in the seventh inning. It was the second home run in as many games and 28th of the season for the third basemen, who also extended a hit streak to eight contests. He's helped carry Arizona during its playoff chase in September, going 21-for-51 (.412) with three doubles, seven home runs, 14 RBI and 10 runs scored over his last 14 contests.
