Hitting is contagious; for that matter great baseball is contagious. A team doesn’t win five of their first six games without executing every facet of the game, and the Arizona Diamondbacks have done that in the opening homestand of 2017.
Regardless of what happens in tomorrow’s series finale, the Diamondbacks assured themselves a winning homestand — last season, fans waited until the middle of August against the Mets for Arizona to accomplish that feat.
The Diamondbacks did it with great pitching, both from the starters and the bullpen. They may have gotten themselves into a few dicey situations, but managed to avoid the big inning.
