Athletics starting pitcher Gage Jump took the loss, surrendering 6 earned runs on 8 hits, including 3 home runs, across 4.2 innings of work. The situation worsened in the middle innings when Yunior Tur gave up 8 earned runs on 5 hits and 3 walks in just 0.2 innings, effectively putting the game out of reach for the visitors.

On the other side, Merrill Kelly earned a solid outing for the Diamondbacks, allowing only 2 earned runs on 5 hits over 5.0 innings. The Diamondbacks' lineup showed no mercy, with multiple players contributing to the 15-run tally, highlighted by home runs from Corbin Carroll, Gabriel Moreno, Nolan Arenado, James McCann, and Ryan Waldschmidt.
