How long ago it seems now. The D-backs went 15-11 in June, their best month of the season so far, though a good part of the success was a considerably easier schedule. June saw series wins over the Braves, Rockies and White Sox, though they did also beat the Padres and swept Seattle. That did get the Diamondbacks up to .500, but didn’t really move the needle much in terms of the team’s position in the standings. They still ended the month four back of the last wild-card spot in the NL, only a couple of games closer than they were at the beginning of June.
