Arizona’s Carson Kelly walked it off in style, then dodged a chaotic celebration. After his game-winning hit, J.D. Martinez didn’t bother chasing the ball, signaling the game was already done. Kelly took off, trying to escape the onfield ambush. Archie Bradley came charging in with a water bottle, while teammates like Ketel Marte and David Peralta flanked from both sides. Meryl Kelly and others closed in and trapped him in the middle. Water flew. Shirts came off. Everyone piled on. Bradley got the bottle going and soaked him straight in the chest.
Kelly tried to break free, but Escobar caught him for a congratulatory moment, capped with a pose and hug from Peralta. The team celebrated with high fives and some affectionate back slaps before heading off to the showers. Kelly’s hat barely hung on as he smiled his way off the field. Another walk-off, another wild crowd of teammates ready to empty the water cooler.
