Through the opening week, the offense clearly carried the Arizona Diamondbacks. Coming from behind to win four of their first five contests, the bats have clearly resonated.
Through the opening five games, the team is hitting .395 with runners in scoring position, and the response is not reserved for late innings. In their 7-3 win over the Cleveland Indians on Friday night, the bombardment came in the middle frames.
Down 3-0 on his one, the Diamondbacks came back with a pair in the fourth and broke the match open with a five-run, fifth inning. In that frame, they batted around for the first time this season and generated enough offense to be victorious.
