D-backs: Nice to be .500, but not the goal
D-backs' five-run 2nd 0:55 7/8/15: The D-backs score five runs on four hits in the top of the 2nd inning, highlighted by A.J. Pollock's three-run homer The D-backs have now won five of their last six games and are tied with the Giants for second place in the National League West with a 42-42 mark.
"It's important to get to .500," D-backs manager Chip Hale said. "It's important getting into second place like we are, but it doesn't matter until the end of the year. We're 1-0 tonight, that's always been my mantra."
The climb to the .500 mark has been a bit of a sore subject with the D-backs.
