Team Record: 77-73, 2nd Place NL West, 1st Place Wild Card
Here’s the B.L.U.F. (Bottom Line Up Front)
Despite going a respectable 8-5 over the last 13 games, the Diamondbacks have now dropped to 12 games out of the race in the NL West and now hold a lead of only one game lead over the Cardinals in the Wild Card standings. That lead is only two over the Padres. The St. Louis Cardinals helped themselves in the race for the Wild Card by putting a hurt on the Diamondbacks last weekend, sweeping the series.
