Corbin Carroll's grand slam guides D-backs past Marlins

Corbin Carroll slugged a grand slam and drove in five runs, leading the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks to a 10-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night.

Geraldo Perdomo blasted a three-run homer and Josh Naylor -- Miami's first-round pick in 2015 -- hit a solo shot for the Diamondbacks.

Arizona, which has won three in a row and five of its past six games, also got a strong pitching performance from Merrill Kelly (3-1). Kelly struck out nine batters while allowing just three hits, one walk and one run in six innings.

Miami starter Connor Gillispie (0-2) gave up eight runs on eight hits and two walks in five-plus innings. He fanned six. The Marlins, who had a two-game winning streak end, have lost all four of his starts this year.

Marlins center fielder Jesus Sanchez, who missed the start of the season due to an oblique strain, went 1-for-4 with a walk in his 2025 debut.

Arizona opened the scoring in the second inning. Gillispie retired the first two batters in the frame before Alek Thomas singled. Garrett Hampson walked, Carroll pulled an RBI double, and Perdomo followed with a 407-foot upper-deck shot down the right field line for a 4-0 lead.

Miami got one back in the bottom of the second as Otto Lopez doubled and scored on Liam Hicks' groundout.

Arizona extended its lead to 5-1 in the third on Naylor's homer to right field -- almost the same spot as Perdomo's shot.

The Diamondbacks chased Gillispie on Gabriel Moreno's RBI single in the sixth. Three batters later, Carroll blasted his 434-foot grand slam to right-center.

Miami closed the deficit to 10-3 with a pair of runs in the seventh. With two outs and nobody on, Griffin Conine doubled and scored on a Hicks two-bagger. Hicks scored on a single by Xavier Edwards.

Conine doubled again in the ninth, this time on a 117 mph line drive. He came around to score on Graham Pauley's sacrifice fly, but it wasn't nearly enough for Miami.

The Diamondbacks and Marlins will play the second contest of the three-game series on Wednesday.
