Soroka earns 4th victory, Arenado homers as Diamondbacks defeat Blue Jays 6-3

Nolan Arenado homered and right-hander Michael Soroka moved into a tie for the MLB lead in wins among starters with his fourth of the season as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3 Friday night. Corbin Carroll and José Fernandez had RBI singles in the fifth inning off Eric Lauer (1-3) for Arizona, playing its first game at home after a 6-3 East Coast trip.

Michael Soroka continued his remarkable comeback season, pitching seven strong innings to earn his MLB-leading fourth win as the Arizona Diamondbacks returned home with a 6-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night.

Nolan Arenado provided the power, launching his third home run of the season in the fourth inning and later driving in another run. The Diamondbacks' offense capitalized in the fifth, with Corbin Carroll and José Fernandez delivering key RBI singles off Blue Jays pitcher Eric Lauer to break the game open.

Soroka's journey makes this start particularly compelling. Just two years removed from a difficult 0-10 season with the Chicago White Sox, the 28-year-old right-hander was dominant, scattering five hits and two runs over seven innings while walking none and striking out five. His performance ties him for the most wins by a starter in the majors this season.

The Blue Jays managed a solo home run from Myles Straw in the sixth and a late RBI single from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., but the Arizona bullpen held firm. Paul Sewald closed the door in the ninth to secure his big league-leading seventh save of the year.

After a successful 6-3 road trip, the Diamondbacks' strong all-around performance—featuring timely hitting, a resurgent ace, and a lockdown bullpen—sets a positive tone for the homestand. The series continues Saturday with a marquee pitching matchup on deck.
