Record: 72-58. Pace: 90-72. Change on 2016: +18.
The Diamondbacks won their fifth game in the last six at Chase Field tonight. But as has been the habit of late, it was another squeaker. Four of those five wins have been by just one run. But overall, our record in those one-run games is very close to our overall mark. That may be a surprise, since it has been a severe see-saw: early on, we had more one-run wins than just about any one else. Tere was then a spell - not least the series in Los Angeles, where all three games were one-run losses - where it seemed the team couldn’t buy a close game.
