Atlanta led 10-4 with one out in the ninth, holding a 99.9% win probability. The Diamondbacks, previously winless in 419 games when trailing by six or more runs after eight innings, defied the odds. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. sparked the comeback with a solo homer, followed by Alek Thomas’s two-run blast. Key hits from Corbin Carroll, Ketel Marte, and Ildemaro Vargas set the stage for Eugenio Suárez, who capped the inning with a go-ahead two-run double off Braves closer Raisel Iglesias.
