The 2023 Arizona Diamondbacks season was the franchise's 26th season in Major League Baseball and their 26th season at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, as members of the National League West. They were managed by Torey Lovullo in his seventh season with the franchise. The Diamondbacks drew an average home attendance of 24,212 in 81 home games in the 2023 MLB season, the 20th highest in the league. The total attendance was 1,961,182. [1]

Contents

On September 30, the Diamondbacks clinched a playoff spot and they faced the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLWCS. They upset the Brewers, sweeping them in two games to advance to the NLDS where they faced the Los Angeles Dodgers. They swept the heavily favored Dodgers in three games to advance to the NLCS for the first time since 2007. In the NLCS, they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in seven games to advance to their first World Series in 22 years where they lost to the Texas Rangers in five games, earning their first World Series loss in franchise history.

The 2023 team was nicknamed "The Answerbacks" by fans and local media since they had a reputation for consistently pulling out come-from-behind wins. [2] [3] Diamondbacks Broadcast announcer Steve Berthiaume was the first person to coin the term.

Offseason

The Diamondbacks finished the 2022 season 74–88, an improvement on their 2021 record of 52–110. They finished 37 games out of 1st and missed the postseason for the fifth consecutive season.

March 30–April 2 at Los Angeles Dodgers

March 30: Diamondbacks 2 at Dodgers 8 — Gallen flounders as Dodgers blow out Diamondbacks on Opening Day

The Diamondbacks opened their season at Dodger Stadium with Zac Gallen as the starting pitcher against the Dodgers' Julio Urías. Arizona got off to a good start, scoring a run in the first inning on a Christian Walker single and another in the second on a Gabriel Moreno sacrifice fly. Nonetheless, Gallen allowed five runs on six hits, including three RBIs to Will Smith (catcher), as the Dodgers came back to win 8-2. [5] [6] [7]

March 31: Diamondbacks 2 at Dodgers 1 — Kyle Lewis's pinch-hit home run leads Diamondbacks to first win

Merrill Kelly took the mound for Arizona against Dodgers' pitcher Dustin May. However, with Merrill Kelly at 74 pitches not yet through the fourth inning, he was lifted for reliever Drey Jameson. The game remained scoreless into the seventh inning, in part due to May's seven scoreless innings, until Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts hit a solo home run off Jameson. However, a two-run homer by Diamondbacks pinch-hitter Kyle Lewis off relief pitcher Alex Vesia in the eighth allowed the Diamondbacks to get their first victory of the season. [8] [9] [10]

April 1: Diamondbacks 1 at Dodgers 10 — Dodgers blow out Diamondbacks again thanks to Trayce Thompson's three homers

Madison Bumgarner started for Arizona against Clayton Kershaw for Los Angeles. Immediately in the bottom of the first, the Dodgers scored five runs on a sacrifice fly by Chris Taylor and a grand slam by Trayce Thompson. In the top of the second, Christian Walker hit his first home run, a solo shot, of the season, which would be the only run the Diamondbacks scored in the game. Later in the game, Trayce Thompson would hit two more home runs, a 3-run homer in the fifth and a solo homer in the eighth as the Dodgers would win 10-1. [11] [12] [13]

April 2: Diamondbacks 2 at Dodgers 1 — Diamondbacks get series split on McCarthy's ninth inning bunt

Zach Davies would make his first start of the season against Dodgers pitcher Noah Syndergaard. The game would be a low-scoring affair as the Dodgers would score a run in the first on a Will Smith solo home run. The Diamondbacks would tie the game in the fifth on a Geraldo Perdomo double that scored Corbin Carroll after he reached base on a single before stealing both second and third bases on back-to-back pitches. In the top of the ninth, with the score still tied 1-1, Ketel Marte hit a double to bring up Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who singled to right, but Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts, who had just moved from second base, threw out Marte at home. However, a few batters later, Jake McCarthy came to bat with two outs and runners on second and third, and bunted for an infield single that scored the game-winning run as the Diamondbacks would close the door in the bottom of the ninth, winning the game 2-1 and splitting the opening series of the season. [14] [15] [16]

April 3–4 at San Diego Padres

April 3: Diamondbacks 4 at Padres 5 — Bullpen blows save via back-to-back Padres home runs

The Diamondbacks played the first of two games at Petco Park, where Ryne Nelson would make his first start of the year for Arizona. The game would get off to a bad start for Nelson, as he would give up a two-run homer to Juan Soto in the first, and after the Diamondbacks tied the game in the top of the second on a Nick Ahmed RBI single and a Gabriel Moreno run-scoring double play, the Padres would break the tie again, on a Manny Machado RBI single. Later in the game, Corbin Carroll hit his first home run of the season, a solo homer in the seventh to tie the game 3-3, and Evan Longoria also hit his first home run, again a solo shot, in the ninth to give Arizona the lead. Arizona would then get runners on the corners with one out, but fortunes turned against them as Gabriel Moreno would ground into an inning-ending double play, and in the bottom of the ninth, Scott McGough gave up a game-tying homer to pinch-hitter David Dahl and one batter later a home run to Ha-Seong Kim, winning the game for the Padres 5-4 in walk-off fashion. [17] [18] [19]

April 4: Diamondbacks 8 at Padres 6 — Diamondbacks manufacture four runs in eighth

The Padres would face Zac Gallen and again score first on a second-inning RBI single by Austin Nola, and would score two more in the fourth on a solo homer by Nelson Cruz and a throwing error by Diamondbacks catcher José Herrera. Arizona would get one back in the fifth on a Josh Rojas sacrifice fly, but San Diego would respond in the bottom of the inning with a two-run homer by Xander Bogaerts. In the sixth, the Diamondbacks would get within one run thanks to a two-run double by Geraldo Perdomo and a RBI single by Josh Rojas. In the eighth inning, the Diamondbacks would manufacture four runs as Jake McCarthy singled, stole second, moved to third on a groundout, and scored to tie the game on a Perdomo sacrifice bunt. Perdomo, reaching base on the bunt, would steal second and then be driven in by José Herrera on a single. Ketel Marte would single to load the bases before Lourdes Gurriel Jr. would drive in another run on a sacrifice fly. Next, with runners on the corners, Arizona would execute a double steal, scoring Josh Rojas to make the score 8-5, the first time the Diamondbacks scored five or more runs this season. In the bottom of the eighth, Diamondbacks right fielder Jake McCarthy would make a running catch and fall into the stands for the third out of the inning. Despite a Trent Grisham homer in the bottom of the ninth to make it 8-6, the Diamondbacks would seal the deal and split their second straight series. Notable is the fact that Arizona scored eight runs without any homers and with five stolen bases. [20] [21] [22]

April 6–9 at Los Angeles Dodgers

April 6: Diamondbacks 2 vs. Dodgers 5 — Diamondbacks can't crack Dodgers' Dustin May in home opener

The Diamondbacks' home opener matched up Merrill Kelly against Dodgers' pitcher Dustin May. The scoring started in the second as Chris Taylor's RBI single put the Dodgers ahead 1-0, and in the third the Dodgers scored two more runs, one on a botched double play attempt and another on a J. D. Martinez double to make it 3-0. In the sixth, the Dodgers would score a fourth run on a single by James Outman. However, the Diamondbacks would respond with a run in the bottom of the inning on a Josh Rojas double. In the top of the seventh, Freddie Freeman would hit his first home run of the year to make the score 5-1. The Diamondbacks would manage to score a run in the bottom of the seventh and even bring the tying run to the plate, but would falter and fail to score again. With Dustin May's six innings of one-run ball, he now had 13 innings against the Diamondbacks with only one run allowed. [23] [24] [25]

April 7: Diamondbacks 6 vs. Dodgers 3 — Evan Longoria leads Diamondbacks to win with 3-for-3 night

The second home game of the Diamondbacks' season was also the second start for Madison Bumgarner, who again faced Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers. Bumgarner would have another bad start as he gave up three runs and six walks without making it through the fifth inning. In the top of the first, Mookie Betts's led off with a double, advanced on a passed ball, and scored on a J. D. Martinez sacrifice fly to give Los Angeles an early lead. The Diamondbacks would respond in the bottom of the inning when Ketel Marte scored on a Lourdes Gurriel Jr. groundout. However, in the second inning, Bumgarner would give up a homer to James Outman to make it 2-1 Dodgers. The Diamondbacks would tie the game in the third on a Corbin Carroll RBI single, but Los Angeles would retake the lead an inning later thanks to Chris Taylor's home run. In the sixth, the Diamondbacks tied and then took the lead on back-to-back solo home runs from Evan Longoria, who was in the midst of a 3-for-3 performance, and Corbin Carroll, Arizona would extend their lead in the eighth as Nick Ahmed and Gabriel Moreno would both have RBI hits to solidify the Diamondbacks' first home win of the season. [26] [27] [28]

April 8: Diamondbacks 12 vs. Dodgers 8 — Diamondbacks put up crooked numbers against Dodgers

The Diamondbacks would again be working from behind as the Dodgers scored four in the first thanks to a Max Muncy RBI single, a J. D. Martinez sacrifice fly, and a two-run homer by James Outman. Arizona would get one back in the bottom frame on back-to-back doubles by Ketel Marte and Lourdes Gurriel Jr., and would manage to take the lead in the second, as four straight hits, including two-run homers by Geraldo Perdomo and Ketel Marte, both their first of the year, made the score 5-4. In the third, the Diamondbacks would double their lead due to a Gabriel Moreno RBI single, but they would find themselves in a jam in the fourth as the Dodgers would load the bases before Mookie Betts drew a walk to make the score 6-5. However, Alek Thomas's diving catch to end the inning saved the lead and one inning later his single drove in Arizona's seventh run of the night. In the sixth, the Dodgers would again get within one thanks to Freddie Freeman's RBI double, but in the bottom of the inning the Diamondbacks would get some distance when Gurriel hit an RBI triple and came home to score on Christian Walker's sacrifice fly. In the seventh, the Diamondbacks would get five straight two-out hits, scoring three runs in the inning to make the score 12-6. Other than a solo homer by Jason Heyward and an RBI single from Will Smith, the Dodgers would go down without much of a fight. Four Diamondbacks would have three hits this game: Josh Rojas, Ketel Marte, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., and Alek Thomas, who had four. [29] [30] [31]
