Diamondbacks Secure Wild-Card Spot After Brewers Win

The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 7-4 in a critical game, securing their position in the National League wild-card standings. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. contributed significantly, hitting a go-ahead home run upon his return from the injured list, while Ketel Marte also had a stellar performance with his 33rd homer. The victory moved the Diamondbacks one game ahead of the New York Mets for the second wild-card spot, as they aim to maintain momentum with only eight games remaining in the season. Despite a strong comeback from the Brewers, who had previously secured the NL Central title, Arizona regained control with a three-run rally following Gurriel's homer. Milwaukee's Garrett Mitchell homered in the loss, but his three strikeouts highlighted the team's offensive struggles. Overall, the Diamondbacks are looking to solidify their playoff position as the regular season approaches its conclusion.
