The Diamondbacks, who entered Atlanta riding a four-game losing streak, have now secured a series win against baseball’s best team with a 5-3 victory on Wednesday night.
Last night, it was the offense scoring 16 runs; tonight, it was Ryne Nelson and the Diamondbacks bullpen cruising through a high-powered Braves lineup.
With two starting pitchers on the injured list, leaving just three men in the rotation, there may not have been a better time for the rookie Ryne Nelson to throw one of the best games of his young career.
