Recap: Arizona Diamondbacks get first win of 2025 season, over the Cubs

The D-Backs stars continued to shine as well. Ketel Marte went going 2-for-5 with a double. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. finished the same, but scoring two on top of that.

Diamondbacks unsung heroes:

Eugenio Suárez has started this season on a tear. He blasted two home runs on Friday night, after he hit one as well yesterday on Opening Day. Suárez mentioned after the game, “Obviously, it feels great, you know, having a start like this. And, you know, like I always say, I just want to keep going.”

Pavin Smith and Alek Thomas both came to play as well. Thomas, had an RBI along with two doubles and a run scored in his 3-for-4 outing. Smith, going 3-for-4 as well, had an RBI too. The Diamondbacks will need help from everybody, not just their stars, going forward.

Shelby Miller also went out and had one amazing outing. His dominating play in the eighth inning and calm demeanor on the mound in the ninth helped ease this Diamondbacks win into place perfectly. Miller threw 16 strikes on 17 pitches in two innings, no walks or base hits were allowed.

The Diamondbacks definitely brought the fireworks, on and off the field. They play the Cubs again tomorrow night, Saturday, March 29th in the third game of a four game series.
