Don’t start planning the Diamondbacks’ parade route through downtown Phoenix just yet.
A swing-and-miss at a sweep of the Dodgers Sunday at Chase Field wasn’t the party-pooper.
The calendar is.
Even if the Diamondbacks had polished off their rivals instead of getting tripped up 6-2 to pry just two out of three from the Dodgers, the reality of their situation would have remained the same.
It’s still April.
All they’ve won so far is our attention.
But an encouraging debut and the best start at home in franchise history is praise-worthy, especially since the team’s 12 wins ranks among the most in baseball.
