PHOENIX — Corbin Carroll hit a pinch-hit homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to cap a five-run rally, and the Arizona Diamondbacks shocked the Washington Nationals with a 9-8 win on Monday night. The D-backs trailed 8-4 heading to the ninth, but Geraldo Perdomo's RBI single brought home Alek Thomas and Ketel Marte followed with a two-run homer down the right-field line off Washington closer Kyle Finnegan. Finnegan retired Gabriel Moreno for the first out before Lourdes Gurriel Jr. singled up the middle. That brought up Carroll, who jumped all over a Finnegan splitter, launching the ball over the right-center fence to set off a raucous Arizona celebration.
