It’s actually impressive if you think about it. A Major League Baseball team, a team filled with decent players who have had successful careers up to this point, has taken the field 23 times in a row attempting to win the game. It’s one thing to go out there trying to lose, that’s not fun, maybe even illegal. But to actually try? Round of applause for our boys, please.
Zac Gallen came off the injured list to make his first start in 6 weeks. The D-backs were only 2 games under .500 since his last start, and while they were on a slight slide, there was optimism that this team had what it takes to at least compete in the National League.
