He has never held a full-time starting job before, and he is not even a “natural” center, more a guard. But he won’t let that stop him as he pursues his dream of being an NFL starter.

Arizona tied the score in the bottom of the first on Christian Walker's RBI single off Pirates starter Marco Gonzales. The Diamondbacks struck for three runs in the second on Carroll's solo homer to right-center, his seventh long ball of the season, and Marte's two-run shot to right-center, his 23rd home run.
