PHOENIX (AP) — After more than 1,000 games, Diamondbacks catcher Chris Iannetta got his first ever curtain call.
Iannetta homered twice and drove in a career-high eight runs and Arizona outslugged the Miami Marlins 13-11 on Friday night.
“I wasn’t even paying attention. I was just happy,” Iannetta said. “Then Gardy (bench coach Ron Gardenhire) told me to get out there, so I went. It was a ton of fun.”
J.D. Martinez and Christian Walker also homered for the Diamondbacks, who can clinch their first postseason berth in six years with a win Saturday and a loss by St.
