Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez Hits 300th Career Home Run Against Rockies

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez reached a major career milestone by hitting his 300th home run during a 14-8 victory over the Colorado Rockies, marking him as the third Venezuelan-born player to reach this mark. Suarez, who has been a powerful offensive force with 24 home runs and a major league-leading 65 RBIs this season, homered in consecutive innings and has demonstrated continued power after a slow start to the season. The Diamondbacks, currently fourth in the NL West, continue to perform well offensively with the second-best team slugging percentage in the majors. Despite interest from other teams targeting Suarez as a trade acquisition, the Diamondbacks insist they are not sellers at the trade deadline and remain committed to competing this season. Other contributors in recent games include Geraldo Perdomo and Ketel Marte, who have added key hits and home runs, while pitcher Merrill Kelly has been effective on the mound. The team is managing some injuries cautiously, including outfielder Corbin Carroll and reliever A.J. Puk, the latter undergoing an internal brace procedure expected to reduce recovery time compared to traditional Tommy John surgery.
