Nothing so far has been able to slow down the supercharged Arizona Diamondbacks, not even the one thing that usually is always bound to stop a team dead in its tracks faster than a blown engine – injuries.
They keep happening and these Diamondbacks keep winning. They’ve been able to overcome every disabled-list move they’ve had to make, shift in and out of danger, and have managed to keep the gas pedal pushed to the floor.
When starting pitcher Shelby Miller was lost for the season due to Tommy John surgery, they called upon minor-league right-hander Zack Godley, their starter Wednesday night against the visiting Cardinals, and he’s been lights-out solid.
