Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll is 1st player in MLB history with crazy career record, and he did it in one season by July

Nobody has ever done this in an entire MLB career. Arizona Diamondbacks superstar Corbin Carroll just did it in one season by the end of July. The accomplishment box was checked off when Carroll hit two triples on Saturday night. It set up this record, shared by OptaStats: MORE: It's impossible to stop watching Ronald Acuna Jr.'s throw Carroll has even missed time this season with injury. It seems like it should be impossible to do what he has done. But apparently when Carroll's swing gets in a certain groove, it really gets there. Some nights, he's a home run hitter. Other nights, he's a triples hitter. And on all those nights, it turns out, Carroll was making history.

Suarez hits 32nd and 33rd homers as Diamondbacks rout Cardinals 10-1

PHOENIX (AP) — Eugenio Suárez homered twice, Corbin Carroll had two triples and the Arizona Diamondbacks cruised to a 10-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. Suárez has five multi-homer games this season, including a four-homer night April 26. Carroll leads the big leagues with 12 triples. The 34-year-old Suárez is in an intriguing spot as the trade deadline approaches. The All-Star third baseman has 33 homers and is arguably the best power bat on the market, but it's unclear if the D-backs will be buyers or sellers considering their 49-50 record is still on the fringe of the National League playoff race. Suarez's 18 homers since June 1 are the most in the big leagues. D-backs righty Ryne Nelson (6-2) had a quality start, giving up one run on four hits over six innings. The D-backs jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first inning after Carroll hit a leadoff triple and Geraldo Perdomo brought him home with a single. Josh Naylor reached on catcher's interference with two outs and Suarez followed with a long two-run homer to left field. Arizona pushed the advantage to 5-0 in the second after Blaze Alexander and Perdomo hit RBI singles. Suarez went deep again in the third with a solo shot to right center. St. Louis right-hander Sonny Gray (9-4) gave up a season-high nine runs, including eight earned, over 3 1/3 innings. He gave up 11 hits and struck out five. Alec Burleson hit a solo homer in the sixth for the Cardinals, who have lost 10 of their past 14 games. Key moment Carroll's leadoff triple was a harbinger of the offensive onslaught that was coming. Key stat The Diamondbacks scored at least one run in each of the first four innings. Up next The Cardinals will throw RHP Miles Mikolas (5-6, 4.94 ERA), while the D-backs counter with RHP Merrill Kelly (8-5, 3.34) in the series finale Sunday. ___ AP MLB:

D-backs hand Cards' Sonny Gray career-worst shellacking

July 20 - Eugenio Suarez hit two home runs and drove in three, Corbin Carroll had three hits including two triples, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the St. Louis Cardinals 10-1 to win their third straight Saturday in Phoenix. Geraldo Perdomo had three singles and four RBIs and Ryne Nelson gave up one run in six innings for the D-backs, who have outscored the Cardinals 17-4 in the first two games of the series. A win Sunday would not only give Arizona a sweep but would also get the Diamondbacks back to .500 and keep them from falling further back in the National League wild-card race. Nelson (6-2) gave up four hits, with Alec Burleson's homer with one out in the sixth the only damage. Nelson struck out four and walked one and is 4-0 with a 2.29 ERA in his last seven starts. Suarez has 33 homers and leads the NL with 81 RBIs. Carroll leads the majors with 12 triples. Masyn Winn had three hits for the Cardinals, who have lost 10 of 14 and fell behind Cincinnati in the NL Central and in the NL wild card race. St. Louis is now fourth in its division. Sonny Gray (9-4) gave up 11 hits and a career-high nine runs (eight earned) before leaving with one out in the fourth. He struck out five and did not walk a batter in his 20th start of the season and 327th major league appearance. The Cardinals placed Nolan Gorman on the injured list before the game with a lower back injury. The D-backs struck for a 3-0 lead in the first and did not stop. Carroll tripled to lead off the game and scored on Perdomo's single before Lourdes Gurriel Jr. grounded into a double play. Josh Naylor appeared to strike out but he was awarded first base when catcher Pedro Pages was called for interference. Suarez followed with his 32nd homer. He is 7-for-13 against Gray, with his first two homers off him coming Saturday. Blaze Alexander and Perdomo had RBI singles in the second and Suarez hit his second homer in the third off Gray to make it 6-0. Carroll tripled in the first run of a three-run fourth when Perdomo and Adrian Del Castillo added run-scoring hits to stretch the lead to 9-0. Perdomo drove in the final run with a groundout in the eighth. --Field Level Media
