Arizona Diamondbacks Tie Franchise's Single-Game Extra-Base Hits Record

Wednesday's World Series rematch was a one-sided affair, as the Arizona Diamondbacks racked up 12 extra-base hits and 14 runs against the Texas Rangers.

After blanking the Texas Rangers on Tuesday, the Arizona Diamondbacks put another beatdown on the reigning World Series champs on Wednesday.

The offensive explosion started from the jump, as Ketel Marte led off the contest with a double. Arizona immediately cashed in on it, as Corbin Carroll drove Marte in on a triple.

Randall Grichuk followed that up with a home run – the 200th of his career – and Eugenio Suárez added a leadoff bomb in the second. The Diamondbacks were up 5-0 before the Rangers even got a hit, and it didn’t end there.

Marte blasted a three-run homer in the fourth, then Adrian Del Castillo hit a three-run shot in the sixth. Suárez went yard again in the seventh, paving the path to the Diamondbacks’ 14-4 victory.

That helped Arizona complete the two-game sweep over Texas, getting revenge for what happened in last year’s Fall Classic.

Between their five home runs, seven doubles and one triple, the Diamondbacks racked up 12 extra-base hits. That tied the franchise's single-game record, adding to the offense's wild season across the board.

Today's 13 extra-base hits tied the franchise record for most in a single game.
