Stephen Vogt’s high and deep drive died at the warning track on Friday night, coming to rest in the glove of San Francisco Giants right fielder Mike Yastrzemski. It was the final swing of the game. It also was the closest the Diamondbacks came to hitting a home run.
For the 14th time in 27 games this season, the Diamondbacks did not go deep. No team in the majors has played more games without hitting a home run. In an era known for the long ball, it is a staggering number for a team that entered the year with such high hopes for its offense.
