Soroka's 10 Ks spark Diamondbacks' dramatic 5-4 comeback over Phillies

The Arizona Diamondbacks erased a 4-0 deficit against Philadelphia, scoring five runs in the fifth inning to edge the Phillies 5-4.

Jesús Luzardo took the loss for Philadelphia, which struck out 16 times, while Arizona’s offense rallied with Ketel Marte’s two-RBI single, Ildemaro Vargas’ RBI, and J. C. McCann’s two-run double to seize the comeback win.

Verlander’s Tigers Return Spoiled by Diamondbacks Rally

Justin Verlander’s long-awaited return to Detroit didn’t go as hoped, as Arizona jumped out to a big early lead and held on for a 9-6 win. Verlander lasted four innings with spotty command, the Diamondbacks tacked on runs including a three‑run shot by Carroll, and Detroit’s comeback attempt surged with a six‑run seventh (and two more in the eighth) before Ildemaro Vargas’ late solo shot sealed the result. The Tigers drop to 2-2, and Casey Mize is set to debut Tuesday against Brandon Pfaadt.

Orioles add versatile Blaze Alexander in Strowd trade

Baltimore acquired infielder Blaze Alexander from Arizona in exchange for right-hander Kade Strowd and two minor leaguers, Wellington Aracena and José Mejía, in a 40-man neutral trade. Alexander, 27, has a .237/.322/.366 MLB line with a 95 wRC+ and offers multi‑position versatility, likely serving as a top bench option for Baltimore as it builds depth around its young core. Arizona clears fringe roster depth, particularly in its bullpen, while Strowd is a controllable depth arm with options. The move continues Orioles’ strategy of adding flexible infield/utility pieces to bolster their roster.
