Alek Thomas played a pivotal role in a dramatic comeback for the Diamondbacks, hitting a grand slam during a ninth-inning rally against the Dodgers. His performance highlighted his ability to impact high-pressure situations, but the team's struggles in the bullpen overshadowed these moments. Thomas's contributions were crucial in energizing the offense, yet the overall instability in the bullpen, particularly with Sewald's struggles, affected the team's success in close games.
