Corbin Carroll hit a pair of solo homers and Merrill Kelly tossed seven strong innings as the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks opened a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants with a 2-1 win on Monday night.

Corbin Carroll is That Guy. He’s just so good, and he’s been on a tear since the second half of last season. He’s erased memories of that awful start to 2024, and tonight he torched Justin Verlander for a pair of home runs that proved to be all his team needed to take the first game of a 3-game series at Oracle Park.
