D-backs vs. Athletics Game Highlights (8/3/25) | MLB Highlights | Arizona Diamondbacks

Jack Perkins is making his first career major league start, Tony , he’s looked good out of the bullpen but getting his first legitimate shot as a starter in the show. Yeah, I think for him today, there’s going to be a lot of emotions first start, but I think for him it’s getting on the same page with austin wins. It’s trusting his pitch calling ability. And in Perkins, I need him to get ahead of hitters and attack that strike zone with that four seam fastball that he’s using just over 40% of the time to the left side. A 32 swing and a miss. That’s a good way to start your first major league starting outing Perkins strikes out Carroll for out number one. Now it’s plays Alexander 3 to 2 and a Miss Alexander is down on strikes back to back cases for Perkins. Now, two away in the first left hand Jerry toward the right field corner, Brent Rooker out there. It drops fair Perdomo with a stumble around first. He heads for second and he’s in there with a two out double. Jerry almost tripped up coming around that first base bag hits the bag and a little stutter step right there, almost blew a tire there two out double ahead of Gurriel who had the big hit of the game last night. One, one little flair shallow right center and it is to make the catch. So a scoreless first for Perkins , we will see the ace pace up next Rodriguez on the mound for the Diamondbacks. Let’s got the edges with his fastball. He’s got three of them, the two seamer, the four seamer, the cut fastball and he can locate those on the edges. He might be able to eliminate some of this. A power Schuman the third baseman today and a good start for E Rod. He gets the strikeout and Jose herrera hangs on the fouls lefty on lefty very advanced profile for a young guy that shattered the bat and dispose of Kurtz Rooker. Normally the DH he’s in right field. Rooker takes outside and draws a two out walk for Shay langeliers sees the DH today, they got to get that bat in the lineup because he is on a tear right now. Two flies it into shallow center that’s dropping fast and it gets down. Rooker is going to take third. So shake sends his hitting streak to five games, puts runners on the corners with Thomas coming up after the fastball up and away. Two strikeouts. He strands two and we are scoreless after one will bump over to second as Urshela checks into the game at third. We’ll keep you posted on the report on luis who is out of the ball game. Three, two. Jake takes ball four and the get a leadoff walk to start the second. You got what you wanted. Candy mccarthy’s aboard for locklear zero for seven that in the air to right muscle towards Rooker who runs in and he’ll have to play it on a bounce. Mccarthy will go to second. It almost looked like Rooker gave up on that ball and Locklear has his first Dbacks hit a big smile and sigh of relief from the right handed hitter. Chance for Alec Thomas who’s really swing a hot bat on this trip, Alec Thomas with another base, hit a ringing knock into right field. Alec Thomas stay hot and the bases are loaded for Connor Kaiser. He’s got his first big league RB I bases loaded walk for Connor Ker and it’s 1 to 0 diamond now for jose Herrero 185 and a homer Herrera to right field Rooker in pursuit and he’s able to make the sliding grab lock there will tag the RB I for herrera and it’s 20 diamond be Alec Thomas gets into third Kaiser still at first two runs home one out for Corbin Carroll jammed him. Bermuda triangle out there big outfield and it drops in. Alec Thomas will score. It’s a blue barbing eye for Corbin and a 30 diamondback lead. Really nice job by Connor Kiser. Reading that there’s a lot of times you see those high popups fall in and they get the force at second base and a chance to tackle and even more still just one out for plays Alexander swing and a Miss Perkins strikes out Alexander for a second time. Had a double in the third punched into right Rooker is there to make the catch Arizona scores three runs off of three hits in the second. They lead 3 to 0 wins at third at second and Urshela is at 1st 2nd. Look for Schuman against Rodriguez jammed him, lay steps on the bag for one and gets the double play. I had to make a pitch and boy the double play bailed him out of a big mess. Perkins lost him a two out walk. We will bring up Alec Thomas Locklear on the run wins with a throw and Tyler Locklear is in head first with his golden base. Two out RB I chance for Thomas a little chaos. Alec punches it the other way and it’s under the glove of Ursa. Here comes locklear. Alec Thomas stay hot hits 4 to 0. Diamondbacks. What a series at the plate for Alec Ker Drew a bases loaded walk, busted bat flair and it’s caught by Kurtz retreating but the Diamondbacks add another run. So it’s JJ. He saw one pitch, drove it back up the middle for a single in the second. That’s crack to right. That’s dropping fast in front of Carroll has a two day and sets up shop for the A’s in the bottom of the fifth final hitter to come up for a second time. Then you turn the lineup card over and Then it’s a third time through against Rodriguez. A base hit by back to back hits and here comes Schuman and now the A got a little something cooking here in the fifth two on nobody out that lineup going to turn over here for the executive and knock Schuman would love to see some productive outs here. Lays it down. It’s a one, only one play for Rodriguez. He throws to first and Schuman gives himself up advancing both runners 90 ft for the power threat. Nick Kurtz got blood at third Urshela now at second and Kurtz Hitless today looking for his 1st 20 and he will get it to right. LA scores shell again the windmill home. It’s a two as Kurtz delivers a two RB I single to right. And that right there is precisely why you need to be able to get the job done. Take care of the little things like we saw from Matt Schuman. Get the and nick Kurtz turns on a 91 mile an hour heater in, finds a hole to the right side. Rooker in a positive scenario to left, right at mccarthy. And here comes the danger, popped him up in the left, coming in is mccarthy. He will make the catch and a good job by Rodriguez to get Rooker and langeliers and get out of the inning without any. Here comes Torre Lollo send him back out there for the sixth at 85 pitches after he had kind of a sketchy fifth and walks the leadoff, be a little upset at himself for walking the leadoff hitter here in the sixth inning , Colby Thomas, he’s at first now, austin wins the batter. The new pitcher right hander John Curtis double play ball here again for Blaze and he starts it. Taylor made nice job by Blaise Alexander once again and the two down for her along the line, let’s see if the win keeps it playable and it does for Corbin Carol is able to run it down and what little foul ground there is out there. So the win helps out john Curtis who gets three quick outs and ends the sixth lays Alexander for three, lays skies it deep to left back up to the track to the wall and it’s gone lays. Alexander gets his first of the year. He got the slider and he blazed it. Did he ever sometimes a slider just speed your bat up. Boy, he did miss that one. Here is Max Schuman with a run around 3rd and 121 bouncing ball to third that will bring home. Schuman has an RB. I ground out 5 to 3. The D max have two on with one out in the ninth leading by Alexander will see the plate in the ninth. He’s got a chance to tack on. At least one run. Here lays to center that drops in. Here comes lays Alexander tack on a run and it’s six to three a day plays second RB I today for Alexander bases full of Diamondbacks and two outs. It’s a chance now for jake mccarthy zero for three, he walked and scored pitch mccarthy strikes out but the Diamondbacks get another run. They lead 6 to 31 more chance for the A JJ up three for three. I think even getting back in there and being able to have a multi day is good for the confidence and there make it a four for anchor down. Well JJ has been seeing the ball a little here for Nelson and that’s two out. So this is the out to get kyle Nelson gets his first major league save and the Diamondbacks get the series win in Sacramento.
