Philadelphia Phillies vs Arizona Diamondbacks Match Player Stats On Aug 10, 2024

Jake McCarthy belted a pair of two-run homers on Saturday as the Arizona Diamondbacks trounced the Philadelphia Phillies 11-1 in Phoenix despite losing All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte and starting pitcher Zac Gallen to injuries.

Marte and Corbin Carroll also went deep for Arizona, which has won two straight since losing the opener of this four-game series on Thursday. Geraldo Perdomo went 3-for-4 for the Diamondbacks, who outhit Philadelphia 15-5.

McCarthy, Carroll and Joc Pederson had two hits apiece, as did Josh Bell and Eugenio Suarez.

Kevin Ginkel (7-2) and two other Arizona relievers combined for 4 2/3 scoreless innings after Gallen exited the contest with an apparent groin injury with one out in the fifth. After the game, Gallen told reporters that he was only dealing with "general body cramps."

Phillies starter Aaron Nola (11-6) was tagged for four runs (three earned) on nine hits over five innings. He walked three and fanned four.

McCarthy, a fourth-year major league veteran who entered Saturday with four home runs in 98 games this season, went deep in the fifth and seventh innings to notch his first career multi-homer game.

His second blast came during the Diamondbacks' seven-run seventh, which Carroll capped with a three-run homer to close the game's scoring. Bell began the seventh-inning outburst with a two-run double.

Arizona has won 14 of its past 17 games and is a major-league-best 26-11 since falling four games below .500 on June 28.

Marte opened the scoring with his 30th home run of the season, a one-out solo shot in the first inning. He walked in the second before exiting in the top of the fourth due to a left ankle contusion that he sustained while covering second base on Garrett Stubbs' two-out double.

An inning later, Gallen appeared to tweak something in his groin area after dodging Bryce Harper's run-scoring groundout that cut the Diamondbacks' lead to 2-1. Gallen left after throwing 87 pitches across 4 1/3 frames, limiting Philadelphia to one run on five hits and two walks. He fanned three.

Harper had two hits to lead the Phillies, who are 7-14 since the All-Star break.

Nola's unearned run came in the second inning, when Perdomo scored to make it 2-0 after Harper mishandled Trea Turner's throw to first.
