Arizona Diamondbacks 7, Detroit Tigers 5 at Chase Field on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 flipped in the eighth: Detroit plated five in the third—Jake Rogers doubled home Parker Meadows, Kevin McGonigle beat out an infield single, Riley Greene cleared the bases with a two-run double, and Kerry Carpenter singled Greene home—5–0 Tigers. Jose Fernandez cut it to 5–1 with a solo homer in the fourth (408 feet). Casey Mize held Arizona to one run through six (9 K), but the Diamondbacks stormed back in the eighth on Corbin Carroll’s two-run double, Gabriel Moreno’s RBI fielder’s choice, and Fernandez’s second homer (409 feet, three on)—7–5 final. Andrew Hoffmann earned the win in relief; Will Vest took the loss. AthX Engine logged 23 AthX FP for Fernandez and 18 for Mize.
