PHOENIX — Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte wasted no time in the bottom of the 10th inning on Sunday, rocking a walk-off double on the first pitch from Atlanta Braves reliever Joel Payamps.
Marte’s drive scored Jorge Barrosa from second base for the 6-5 win, Arizona’s first walk-off of the year.

Arizona moved to 1-0 in extra innings this season after a 7-12 record in such games in 2025.
With the win, the Diamondbacks split the four-game series with Atlanta and finished their opening homestand with a 5-2 record to get back to .500, 5-5.
Diamondbacks reliever Taylor Rashi kept Atlanta off the board in the top of the 10th with a 1-2-3 inning. A backhanded sliding play from shortstop Geraldo Perdomo with the infield in kept the runner at third base.

The D-backs and Braves went back and forth on Easter Sunday. The Braves were up 1-0, and the D-backs tied it. Arizona jumped ahead 3-1, and Atlanta tied it. The D-backs went up again 4-3 before the Braves evened the score in the seventh inning, before Corbin Carroll stepped up to bat in the bottom half.
After a Barrosa double, Carroll ripped a line drive into the right-field corner off Braves lefty Dylan Lee for a stand-up triple. It was as much of a no-doubter as a triple could be.
Carroll finished the game 3-for-4. He was Arizona’s standout hitter of the homestand, going 8-for-19 at the plate with two triples, two home runs, a double and eight RBIs.
But the Braves had another rally in them. D-backs acting closer Paul Sewald was down after pitching in the past two games, and Atlanta tied the game on three singles off Jonathan Loaisiga.
Drake Baldwin hit the game-tying single, but the Braves were not able to score the go-ahead run with closer Raisel Iglesias coming in for the ninth.
Marte jumped on a changeup over the middle and hit it 109 mph off the bat. This was a big week for Marte, who reached 10 years of MLB service time in the major leagues.
Next up for Diamondbacks
The D-backs hit the road for nine games, starting with Tuesday’s matchup against the New York Mets at Citi Field.
Zac Gallen will pitch for Arizona, and right-hander Freddy Peralta is probable for New York.
First pitch on Tuesday is at 4:10 p.m. MST.
