Well, this was a fascinating contest. I was genuinely engrossed from first pitch to last, which is why this recap is later than usual. I did contemplate starting it when the D-backs took a 7-0 lead, but I ended up getting entranced by Brandon Pfaadt’s incredible dark magic for a bit. Then the bullpen took over, and Ryan Thompson made things more interesting than it should have been. But in the end, a four-run victory over the Dodgers in Los Angeles is a perfectly fine result, bringing the D-backs to within three games of the division lead for the first time since April 25.
