Record: 75-73. Pace: 82-80. Change on 2018: -3.
A return to Chase Field and opponents not named the Mets didn’t prove to be the cure for what ails the Diamondbacks. On Faith and Family night, Arizona didn’t repay anyone’s faith, and a pair of unearned runs, courtesy of a Wilmer Flores error, proved the difference as the D-backs dropped their sixth in a row. I managed to miss most of the early innings, thanks to unholy traffic on the I-10: I don’t know if it was caused by everyone going to the Dave Matthews concert at the Ak-Chin Pavilion tonight, but the highway was at a grinding halt from downtown through to 83rd Avenue.
