Safe to say emotions were running high going into this one? Longest losing streak of the year on the line. Ace on the mound at home. First shut out the night before? NL Rookie of the Year injury scare. Polarizing (usage) pitching rookie to the IL? Yowzah. Not a great 24 hours for Arizona fans (more like 18 hours).
