Arizona Diamondbacks 5, Toronto Blue Jays 4: Call An Ambulance, But Not For Me.
Long time no see, friends! Although you have not seen me commenting much I have reverted back to my lurking ways. I figured after the magical World Series run last year Jim would have no difficulty finding eager writers to discuss this team. It was a good opportunity for me to take a step back and focus on fatherhood which has been an absolute blast. Don’t get it twisted though, I’m still raising my daughter to become a Diamondbacks fan as the good (choose your deity) intended. We’ve been watching every game even if she can’t quite comprehend it yet.
The way I see it, the Diamondbacks have been a tear as of late against a challenging part of the schedule. They would find themselves a healthy number of games above .500 and in a decent spot in the wild card race were it not for some blown saves. Regardless, the team has not used that as an excuse and continues to find ways to bounce back. Still plenty of season left on the plate, and as we saw last season the only need to make it into the playoffs and anything can happen from there.
Tonight they opened up a series against the Toronto Blue Jays who like Arizona had playoff aspirations at the start of this season but have been even more disappointing. That ballclub is currently glaring hard into the mirror and will have some difficult decisions to make before the trade deadline.
Ryne Nelson took the bump for Arizona and continued a string of really good starts. Outside of rough outings at San Diego on June 8th and June 26th against Minnesota he has been very impressive the past two months. This comes at a time when the starting rotation is running thin with injuries, which his manager surely appreciates from him. This evening it was seven innings of dominant pitching with Nelson touching 98 miles per hour at times. Unfortunately, the Diamondbacks offense was a bit anemic until the late innings of this contest so he ultimately walks away with a no decision when he arguably deserves the win.
Through four innings Nelson gave up only one hit, an excuse me single to Vlad Guerrero Jr. in the first. After that hit he buckled down and retired 11 straight Blue Jays in a row. The Diamondbacks’ offense did manage to provide Nelson with a pair of runs in the second and third innings, but also missed a couple of opportunities after that to give him more support. Kevin Newman got the start at second base tonight to give Ketel Marte some rest before the All Star game and doubled with one out in the third. Corbin Carroll, his ears ringing after Jim’s accurate analysis of his performance in the GDT, drove Newman in on a line drive to right field for the first run of the game. Carroll stole his 17th base of the season followed by a walk from Gabriel Moreno. With two outs in the inning, Christian Walker hit a dribbler to third base that Ernie Clement was unable to field cleanly which loaded the bases for Geraldo Perdomo. Gerry worked a really nice full count at bat but sadly looked at strike three right down the middle of the plate to end the inning.
Arizona kept the scoring going in the fourth courtesy of a leadoff triple from Randal Grichuk who was driven in on a sac fly from Kevin Newman. However, that would be all the run production the Diamondbacks could muster until the end of the game allowing Toronto to come back and take the lead. Ryne Nelson first ran into trouble in the fifth inning. A single and a double put runners on first and second with only one out. Toronto cut the Arizona lead in half on a force out, but Nelson prevented further damage by striking out Leo Jimenez to end the inning.
Toronto picked up the next inning countering with a leadoff triple of their own from George Springer. A sac fly in the following at bat tied the game at two apiece, but again Nelson remained calm retiring Vlad Guerrero Jr. and Justin Turner in order to end the inning. His final inning of work started much the same with a leadoff triple from former Diamondback Daulton Varsho. His hit stayed just fair bouncing right on the first base line in the outfield rolling all the way to the corner. A one out sac fly gave the Blue Jays their first lead of the game. Nelson’s outing was concluded after the seventh inning, his final line being three runs on five hits with five strikeouts and no walks.
Bryce Jarvis came out of the bullpen to pitch the eighth inning. A trio of singles opened the frame ahead of Vlad Guerrero Jr., and to be honest with the recent streak of luck this team has had in the late innings I was not too optimistic I would be recapping a win tonight. Miraculously, Jarvis limited the damage to just one further run inducing a sac fly from Vlad and ending the inning on a Justin Turner double play.
Down two runs and with only five hits in the game so far Arizona had their work cut out for them. Geraldo Perdomo and Eugenio Suarez drew a pair of key walks sandwiched between outs and each advanced a base on a wild pitch. Alek Thomas delivered the biggest hit of the game for Arizona with a single to left field scoring both men to tie the game at four apiece.
Justin Martinez, the hottest bullpen arm for Arizona right now, made easy work of the Blue Jays in the top of the ninth to keep it a tie game and put the team in a position for a come from behind victory. Toronto brought in Chad Green in hopes to send the game to extras but he struggled to find the strike zone issuing walks to three D’backs batters, albeit one of them intentional to Christian Walker. That loaded the bases for Gerry Perdomo, and with Corbin Carroll as the man on third base with only one out he did exactly what he needed to sending the first pitch he saw into the outfield for the game winning run.

CoTN goes to Dano for one topic I haven’t touched on in this recap yet. His comment was obviously posted in the first inning, but it was a foreshadowing of the Doug Eddings experience last night. His strike zone was rather wide, so it will be interesting to see his scorecard in the morning.
Regardless, a win is a win and the Arizona Diamondbacks who have flirted with it for much of the past two months are now over .500 for the first time since April 5th. As always, it was a pleasure recapping for you tonight and thank you for reading. Remember there is still a good chunk of season left and absolutely no reason to panic. The team is playing better of late and will hopefully be getting healthier in the coming weeks. All it takes is a wildcard berth and the October magic happens from there. Enjoy the journey!

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The two Republicans running for Arizona attorney general faced each other Thursday in a debate that devolved into insults and name-calling.
State Senate President Warren Petersen is running against military attorney Rodney Glassman in the Republican primary. The debate turned chaotic as the candidates clashed.
“Are you asking the questions, Steve?” Petersen said.
The moderator attempted to regain control. “Gentlemen, we’re going to reset,” he said.
Candidates clash over experience
The debate was the last before early voting begins next month. In between the name-calling, the two candidates argued over their resumes.
Glassman said Petersen does not have the legal experience for the job.
“Warren is just full of information, you can call them lies. He received his law license in December 2023, 28 months ago. He has never filed a lawsuit as a lawyer. He has never prosecuted a criminal as a lawyer,” Glassman said.
Petersen has had a law license for less than three years. He said he worked on cases in Scottsdale while earning his degree. Petersen said his experience as the current state Senate president also counts.
“I have done more in three years than Rodney Glassman will even get done in his life because he’s a trust fund baby who’s just looking for a place. He’s been running for 15 years and he’s lost six elections in a row,” Petersen said.
History of campaigns
Glassman has not won an elected office since he served as a Democrat on the Tucson City Council in 2007. Glassman is an Air Force attorney with 17 years of experience.
Democratic strategist Matt Grodsky said the real winner was the incumbent, Kris Mayes.
“I thought it was entertaining television. I’m glad Arizona got to see up close why these two individuals should be nowhere near the AG’s office,” Grodsky said.
Voting in the primary begins June 24.

The Arizona man known as the “QAnon Shaman” said Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s new Anti-Weaponization Fund is an abuse of power by a would-be “king.”
Jacob Angeli-Chansley – the face of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot with his red, white and blue face paint and horned fur headdress – denounced the $1.776 billion program as a “slush fund” for Trump to reward his loyalists.
The Justice Department announced the fund on Monday as part of a settlement with Trump, who had sued the IRS for $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. The settlement included an assurance that the IRS will drop all audits and claims for back taxes against Trump, his family and businesses.
“You think I’m gonna take a f—ing dime from Trump and the government after he’s using this thing to cover him and his family in perpetuity for all of their crimes?” he told Cronkite News by phone. “You think I’m gonna take a dime of that blood money?”
Trump pardoned more than 1,500 people who participated in the Jan. 6 riot the day he returned to the White House in January 2025. Many had been convicted of assaulting police officers.
Cronkite News reached out to 17 of those defendants with Arizona ties. None besides Angeli-Chansley responded.
Thirteen were convicted or pleaded guilty to crimes related to the attack. Four of the cases were dismissed after the pardon. The charges included assault on federal agents, physical violence at the Capitol and seditious conspiracy.
See our previous coverage of the Anti-Weaponization Fund and “QAnon Shaman” in the video player above.
Angeli-Chansley pleaded guilty to a charge of obstruction of an official proceeding. He served 27 months of a 41-month sentence. He was released from federal prison in March 2023.
During the riot, he carried an American flag fastened to a spear and used a bullhorn to call other rioters to the dais in the Senate chamber.
“He stated that ‘Mike Pence is a f—-ing traitor’ and wrote a note on available paper on the dais, stating, ‘It’s Only A Matter of Time. Justice Is Coming,’” according to prosecutors.
At a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing Tuesday, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the compensation fund, saying it will be open to anyone victimized by a politically motivated prosecution, not just Jan. 6 defendants.
“It’s not limited to Republicans. … It’s not limited to the Biden weaponization. It’s not limited to, in any way scope or form, January 6 or to (targets of special counsel) Jack Smith. There’s no limitation on the claims,” Blanche said.
He rejected Democrats’ assertions that the fund is a massive, taxpayer-funded attempt by Trump to whitewash the assault on democracy.
“I think it’s telling that everybody on the left and … the liberal side of the media immediately says it’s a slush fund for President Trump’s friends,” Blanche said. “If anything else, that’s an outright admission that they know that the people that really had this Department of Justice weaponized against them were President Trump and his friends. But … that is not what the AG order that I signed yesterday says.”
Blanche, who served as Trump’s private attorney in several cases – prosecutions over election interference and classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago and allegations of hush money paid to an adult actress ahead of the 2016 election – faced strong criticism from Senate Democrats.
“You are acting today like the president’s personal attorney and that’s the whole problem,” said Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, who also noted that a huge banner with Trump’s portrait was draped over the front of the Department of Justice building in February.
At a homeland security committee meeting Tuesday, Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego called for legislation barring establishment of a fund of the sort proposed by the Trump administration.
He called it outrageous to provide compensation to “traitors who attacked the Capitol.”
“No president, Republican or Democrat, should be able to use the federal treasury as a personal checkbook,” he said.
Angeli-Chansley now refers to himself as the “American Shaman.” He was heavily involved in the QAnon movement, which centered on a conspiracy theory that Trump was fighting a cabal of Satan worshippers who engage in child sex trafficking.
He was a strong MAGA supporter when the pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol, interrupting congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.
Angeli-Chansley has since become disenchanted with Trump. He has also repudiated the QAnon movement.
In a rambling phone conversation with Cronkite News, he repeatedly cited Trump’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier and convicted sex offender who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting federal trial for trafficking young women and girls for sex.
He reiterated his anger with Trump for resisting the release of the Epstein files.
And he criticized Trump for attacking Iran and supporting Israel, among other things.
Angeli-Chansley sued Trump for $40 trillion in September 2025, asserting he is the true leader of the free world and vowing to use the sum to wipe out the national debt. The lawsuit was dismissed. He later filed a lawsuit against the CIA, FBI, World Bank and others in Maricopa County.
He urged fellow Jan. 6ers to “reject that … money.”
If courts allow the fund to operate, Angeli-Chansley said, it would mean that Trump “can do whatever it is that he wants.”
