Heading into the bottom of the ninth inning tied at 5-5, the D-Backs loaded the bases with no outs after a single by Corbin Carroll, a walk by Gabriel Moreno and an error on Blaze Alexander’s sacrifice bunt. Lawlar stepped up to the plate and, with a 1-2 count, check-swung on a slider out of the zone, making enough contact for a single to Giants first baseman Wilmer Flores.
Flores attempted a force-out at home to get Carroll, but Carroll’s speed beat the throw, giving the Diamondbacks a 6-5 win. Lawlar’s game-winning infield single was the first walk-off of his MLB career.

The win keeps the Diamondbacks 1.5 games back of the final National League wild-card spot, taking the season tiebreaker against the Giants.
As the Snakes continue to fight for a chance to play in October, they will need to rely on clutch moments and collective efforts, like Tuesday’s win.
