Suarez, Smith send Diamondbacks soaring past Blue Jays in series finale

Eugenio Suárez and Pavin Smith led the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 9-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, driving in a combined seven runs. Toronto's Kevin Gausman struggled, allowing seven earned runs over 4.1 innings, while Alejandro Kirk hit two home runs for the Blue Jays. Suárez hit his 22nd home run and added a two-run double, while Smith contributed a two-run shot of his own. The Blue Jays’ late rally included home runs from Jonatan Clase and an RBI double from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., but ultimately fell short.

The Diamondbacks' starting pitcher Ryne Nelson secured the win, allowing only one hit and striking out four. The Blue Jays are now facing injury issues, with multiple outfielders on the IL, complicating their upcoming series against the Chicago White Sox. This game denied Toronto a chance for their sixth sweep of the season after previously winning the first two games in the series.

What does this recent game mean for the Diamondbacks' playoff hopes?Can we expect more consistent performances from the Diamondbacks?What implications do the Blue Jays' injuries have for their performance?What is the outlook for Kevin Gausman moving forward?
