Nolan Arenado’s broken-bat bloop in 10th sparks Diamondbacks to 7-6 win over Red Sox

In a thrilling game, the Arizona Diamondbacks managed to avoid a series sweep against the Boston Red Sox, winning 7-6 in the 10th inning. The tiebreaking moment came courtesy of Nolan Arenado, who hit a broken-bat bloop single over a drawn-in infield, driving in the scoring run for his teammates. Joining Arenado in scoring were Lars Nootbaar with a pinch-hit two-run homer and Gabriel Moreno with a two-run double.

Arizona's pitching staff also played a crucial role, as Lars Rhoten (12-4, 2.71 ERA) shut down the Red Sox for five innings before allowing five runs in his final 2/3 of a shaky seventh. Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox saw their dominant form against Boston take a hit, as they struggled to contain a resilient Arizona lineup.
