May is finally in the books for the Diamondbacks. It is now officially confirmed as the worst calendar month in the 24-year history of the franchise. Their 5-24 record surpasses the 5-23 previous lowest, set in July 2004, and their brief winning streak ends at... one. Admittedly this can hardly be a surprise. The road to victory tonight needed to go through the best pitcher in the majors, Jacob deGrom. He came in with an ERA of 0.80, and lowered it with six shutout innings. He needed only 70 pitches and struck out eight.
The tone was set in the first.
