Walker's Dinger Duo, Gallen's Mound Mastery Lead D-backs to Victory Over Rangers
A Night to Remember: D-backs' Slugger Steals the Show
Christian Walker's two home runs proved pivotal in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 6-2 triumph over the Texas Rangers. His first homer, a solo shot in the third inning, gave the D-backs an early advantage. Walker's second blast, a two-run homer in the fifth, extended the D-backs' lead to 5-0, effectively putting the game out of reach for the Rangers.
Gallen's Gem: Shutting Down Texas
Merrill Kelly's eight strong innings on the mound were a major factor in the D-backs' success. Kelly allowed just two runs on four hits, striking out seven Rangers batters. His impressive performance kept the D-backs' bullpen fresh and contributed significantly to the team's victory.
Offensive Outburst Powers D-backs
Beyond Walker's home runs, the D-backs received offensive contributions from various players. Ketel Marte went 2-for-5 with an RBI, while Carson Kelly and David Peralta each added an RBI single.

Rangers' Struggles Continue
The Rangers' offense failed to find its rhythm against Kelly and the D-backs' bullpen. Texas managed only five hits in the game and left eight runners on base. The Rangers' struggles at the plate have been a recurring issue throughout the season, as they rank among the lowest-scoring teams in Major League Baseball.
Upcoming Matchup: D-backs Host Padres
The D-backs will look to continue their winning ways when they host the San Diego Padres in a three-game series starting on Tuesday. Madison Bumgarner is expected to start for the D-backs in the series opener, while the Padres will send Joe Musgrove to the mound.
