There have already been some crazy games through the first few weeks of this season for the Diamondbacks. We’ve already witnessed a game in which the team scored eight runs in a single inning, see a player tie a record for the most number of home runs in a single game, and the absolute gut punch that was last Friday. So, in that context, this afternoon’s wackiness may end up being a relative footnote on this season, but that didn’t stop it from being an incredibly entertaining game. It featured nearly everything you could want in a baseball game: wild momentum swings, incredible defensive plays by both teams, and a result that quite literally came down to the final pitch.
