Corbin Carroll leads D-backs to fifth consecutive win

Corbin Carroll helped the Arizona Diamondbacks secure their fifth consecutive win by hitting a walk-off against the Colorado Rockies. This victory came on May 22, 2026, and marked Carroll’s first walk-off hit of the season as he continued to excel during a career year through 46 games.

With the score tied at 1-1 and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Rockies reliever Juan Mejia threw a 2-2 sweeper that Carroll was able to send home, scoring Gabriel Moreno from second base. The final score was 2-1 in favor of the D-backs.

Carroll had already contributed to Arizona’s performance earlier in the game, knocking in both of the team’s runs. He initially scored with a groundout during a rally in the sixth inning. The Rockies managed to tie the game when D-back reliever Juan Morillo unintentionally hit Tyler Freeman while the bases were loaded, but Kevin Ginkel came in to relieve Morillo and extinguished the threat, ensuring that Eduard Rodriguez’s remarkable start of seven scoreless innings was not in vain.

Following up from a 1-for-5 game on Thursday, Carroll is now slashing .282/.390/.552 and has emerged as a significant player, leading Major League Baseball with six triples. After overcoming a challenging stretch in late April and early May, the Diamondbacks’ winning streak improved their record to 26-23, placing them in a strong third position within the National League West, 4.5 games back from the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers, and two games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the final wild-card spot.
